the sea god Poseidon enchanted a lady
of virtue and beauty, her grace did shine
making her a mermaid, daughter of the sea
passing on his joy of the ocean's depths

but the young lady longed for a mortal man
shedding unhappy tears, flooding the sea
trying to be the daughter of Poseidon
yet unable to break her chain to the land

our sea god removed his spell of enchantment
to his great surprise her tears kept pouring
for what good was having a mortal man,
if you couldn't be the daughter of the sea?
