"Wild Uncharted Waters" is a song in the2023 live-action remake ofThe Little Mermaid. It is sung byPrince Eric, who was portrayed by Jonah Hauer-King in the film. According toAlan Menken, the song was created for this moment of waves and all the wildness of what's out there in the ocean, whatAriel represents to Eric.[1]
Lyrics[]
Ariel:
Ah, ah
Eric:
All I ever wanted
Was the open sea and sky
Freedom from the life I always knew
Now all I am is haunted
As days and hours roll by
All I ever think about is you
There you are, over me
Taking me with your song to
Ariel:
Ah, ah, ah
Eric:
Wild uncharted waters
Miles beyond the sea
I was darkness bound, I had almost drowned
'Til you came around, and you found me
Now I am on the shoreline
But I'm still lost at sea
In these wild uncharted waters
Come find me again
All I do is wonder
Who you are and where you'll bе
In my mind, your melody goes on
Stronger than thе undertow
The night you rescued me
Silhouetted by the rising dawn
Oh, oh-oh, over you
I cannot get over you
In wild uncharted waters
Beyond where man can see
When your eyes outshine the horizon line
And you're finally real, here beside me
I'm right here on the shoreline
I'm right where you left me
And your voice is like
A siren that guides me to
Wild uncharted waters
Alone, just you and me
And I hope you're there in the open air
There's no map or compass to guide me, no
Time may change the shoreline
But time will not change me
If it takes my life
I will finally find you again
In uncharted waters
Come find me again
