** It has two short reprisals. The first by his adoptive mother, The Queen, trying to convince him that being adopted has never stopped his family from loving him unconditionally. The second during "The Plauges" as Moses admits it kills him to watch his old home fall to ruin and know he's lost his brother forever (we then get a contrasting verse from Ramses, in which he can't understand why his brother would put Egypt through such pain. "''Is this what you wanted!?''").

* In ''Series/{{Noob}}'', the character song for Omega Zell [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H09mtngsR1o ''Roxor'']] is basically one. It was recorded and got a couple of clips at the time of Season 2 and was used in the actual webseries during the credits of Season 4 finale [[spoiler:by which he's in the guild he dreams of joining in the song]].

* "Picture Show," the opening duet from the short-lived Wildhorn musical ''Bonnie and Clyde'' is this for both protagonists (Bonnie wanting to be a movie star; Clyde wanting to be a wealthy gangster). The characters start the song as children and "age" to their adult selves by the end, showing that both of these dreams were going nowhere fast.

* "Santa Fe" from ''{{Newsies}}'', where {{Batman}} dreams of life in the country out West. Bit of a TearJerker when he gets to the line "I ain't getting any younger"; bear in mind, he's ''seventeen'' at this point, and already incredibly world-weary.

*** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bate_tvVUpk "I've Got A Dream"]] is another [[CrowdSong Crowd Want Song]]. The thugs at the Snuggly Duckling sing about, despite how violent they seem, they all have adorable dreams deep down.

* Suprisingly, the {{Barbie}} movies have several well-written I Want Songs. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1hn0XUwxBQ "Free"]] from Barbie Princess and the Pauper is an I Want Duet between the titular characters, showing that though they're living completely different lives they share the same dream - to be free of the responsibilties thrust upon them.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsWbyHqbN5Y "Need to Know"]] from Barbie as the Island Princess doubles as an I Want Song and a way to show the protagonist and the love interest are secretly falling for each other.
