An early on track in Encanto sees main character Mirabel lament her lack of powers and how she will always be excluded from her family. In a family of people all gifted with a supernatural ability, she is the only one who the miracle surpassed and left ‘normal.’

She talks about the good she would do the world, begging for a miracle to befall her and allow her to do the things that her family does - and more. Reddit user TheBookKlepto paid special attention to the lyrics here and noticed that they actually tell us certain plot points that are to come.

Specifically in one line Mirabel promises that if she were gifted she “would move mountains, make new trees and flowers grow.” She is sort of spelling out the part of the plot where she enables her siblings to become better versions of themselves: emotionally moving her strong sister to be able to open up about how she is struggling, and then literally unlocking her other sister’s ability to grow whole new plants.
