A New Day Is Dawning
[Verse 1: Ariel’s Sisters]
Welcome the dawning of a happy age of new beginnings
Land and sea have come together
Joined in peace and harmony
Fairytales and miracles are what we're singing of:
Our dear princess, Ariel, truly fell in love
With a prince, a human prince, who lived so far above

[Chorus: Ariel]
Wishes really can come true
If you want them to
And this happiness inside
I owe to ev’ry one of you

[Verse 2: Ariel & her sisters]
How about you introduce us
To these lovely friends of yours?
Come take a bow
Donald, Goofy and Sora!


[Pre-Chorus: Sora, Donald, & Goofy]
Congratulations, dear princess, to you
You found your first love and he found you, too
We were glad to help you out, and very glad it's true
Seeing how we made you grin, just makes us want to twirl a fin
[Chorus: Ariel & her sisters]
Wishes really can come true
If you want them to
And this happiness inside
I owe to ev'ry one of you

[Verse 3: Ariel & her sisters]
Be so kind to introduce
The King, and these his loyal friends
Please say hello: Daddy, Sebastian, Flounder

[Pre-Chorus: King Triton, Sebastian, Flounder]
Ariel, I’m so happy for you
Yes, happy endings are so rare and so few
We were glad to help and very proud, it's true
Seeing how we made you grin, just makes us want to twirl a fin

[Outro: Everyone]
Any other friends of yours
That might be waiting in the wings?
Come say hello: All my friends
From ev'ry corner of the world
Welcome the dawning of a happy age of new beginnings
Land and sea have come together
Joined in peace and harmony
Fairytales and miracles are what we're singing of:
Our dear princess, Ariel, Prince Eric from above
A happy end forever after, full of joy and love
