For the First Time (From "The Little Mermaid"/Soundtrack Version) (《小美人魚》電影插曲) - Halle

Lyrics by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

Composed by：Alan Menken

Look at the sun and the sky and the sand and

The sea behind me

Look at me suddenly I am on land and I'm free

Don't mind me as I

Climb for the first time

Jump for the first time

Trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down

Look it's a fire it's warm and it glows

And it lights this chamber

Let me admire it ow get too close and it bites

I came too close for the first time

Burned for the first time

Everything's clearer and brighter and hotter

But now that I'm here like a fish out of water

I'm trying to stand but this gravity's pulling me down

Are we only food for slaughter

Is this life on land

Well you were lonely underwater

Come on Ariel time to stand

Squeeze in the shoes and the corset it's tight

And the seams are bursting

Some women choose this I guess it's alright

Are my dreams adjusting

As I wait for the first time

Here for the first time

Now for the first time

He's coming through those doors

Up the stairs

From the shore

From that moment

And he'll smile

Like he knows

When I say

Realize the prize that you paid with your voice

As he turns from you

Those sacrifices you made were a choice

That you can't undo

Lost for the first time

Scared for the first time

Gravity feels like an undertow pulling me down
