Part of Your World

How deep is the ocean? 

No where deep enough to feel the vast empty feeling in her heart 

There's something missing 

And it's not found in the gadgets and gizmos a plenty 

Or the whozits and whatzits galore 

But theres nowhere in the seven seas 

That holds that missing piece 

And then everything clicked when she saw him floating down 

So she took him to her palace to await his awakening 

Desperate to see his eyes and desperate to hear his voice 

She took him to a witch and with a cold hard look 

Told her letting him go to the surface was all it took 

She knew the surface was not made for a woman with fins 

But she would not resign 

She took him to the surface and saved his life 

And when he awoke he saw the deep blue in his eyes 

And heard the deep gratitude in his voice 

It was love at first sight 

She jumped out of the sea and he marveled at her tail 

Ill take you the a wonderful place he said 

Where you'll never be alone 

How deep is the ocean? 

It's getting deeper now as her heart is draining all her hope and love 

How deep is the ocean? 

Deeper than the closed in walls into which she was shoved 

And people came to marvel at her everyday 

Come one come all to see the little mermaid
