King Triton: Ariel? Ariel! You've been to the surface again, haven't you? Ariel: Please listen father Take note I'm very well I meant to cause no trouble King Triton: Now look here, Ariel Ariel: The sun is shining Over the ocean waves It warms the land above us The children laugh and play I have dreams Of life above King Triton: What of the danger? You could have fallen prey The human world is savage Now look, you must obey Ariel's sisters: Excuse us, father However hard you try She'll look beyond the ocean We'll never know just why She has dreams Of life Chorus: Life above the sea kingdom How could you ask for any more than what we have Life within the sea kingdom You can swim the seven seas In happiness and peace Oh life here in the sea kingdom Ariel: I can't contain My secret thoughts Of life above The deep blue sea High above The ocean waves There is a life That calls me I have dreams Of life Ariel's sisters: A day of swimming A day of having fun She'd rather be on dry land Up playing in the sun We bow to father He rules with majesty The merfolk here are happy We all enjoy the sea She has dreams Of life Chorus: Life above the sea kingdom King Triton: How could you ask for any more than we have Chorus: Life within the sea kingdom You can swim the seven seas In happiness and peace Life within the Life within the Life within the sea kingdom
