The Struggle of the Sea
Chained to the sea
oppressed by its waves and torturous tides
to conform or be prepared to die
that's the decision the Little Mermaid must make
there is more than just her life at stake
the future of mermaids and man alike
lie in her grasp
she knows she must fight
all her life she's been told what she can and can't do
but in her heart, she knows it's all not true
she realizes now that her voice is power
that she will no longer cower
in fear to the sea witch who shall fall
breaking down numerous barriers and walls
and all will rejoice
that they finally have a choice
thanks to the Little Mermaid who was unafraid to use her voice.
