Unrealistic Dreamer.

Ballad: "The Mermaid's Wish"

The crashing waves roar

And the stormy winds blow,

The tide drowning out

And becoming low.

The sunset peaks

From across the sky

As the dolphins jump

And leap so high.

A woman emerges-

More like half woman, half fish.

She helds a seashell close to her heart

And makes a wish.

"Oh let my father see I belong

In the shore, not the sea."

She whimpers a cry

And whispers her plea.

The waves are roaring

And lightning strikes,

Signaling King Triton's arrival.

He has come forth to fight.

The mermaid cries

And starts back into the sea,

Where her father thinks

Is the right place to be.

She wants to be human,

That is her only wish.

If only her father would see

And grant her the gift.

She wants legs

To roam free,

But all she will be is a mermaid,

Lost at sea.
