Just Around the Riverbend is a song from the 1995 Disney animated film Pocahontas.
About the Song's Meaning
In the movie, "Just Around the Riverbend" is a special kind of song. It's called an "I want" song. These songs show what the main character truly wishes for.
In this song, Pocahontas has a big decision to make. She can choose to follow the old traditions and stay safe. Or, she can choose to explore new things and have exciting adventures.
The song uses a river to show these two choices. One path of the river is straight and calm. This stands for the safe, traditional path. The other path goes "just around the riverbend." This represents the unknown and new adventures.
Pocahontas is amazed by how the river can change. It twists and turns easily. It always ends up somewhere new and exciting. This makes her wonder what new things await her if she chooses the path less traveled.
