When I Start to Make Some Waves

"When I start to make some waves" is a song in the Sofia the First episode "Return to Merroway Cove". It is sung by Oona who laments how everyone treats her like a little child.

Lyrics
Oona: My sister says I am to little

And my mother keeps on explaining

That I have to wait on my training

But I'm old enough to learn a trick or two

Every fish has school so I wish they'd teach me what to do

I'm so much more than what they say

Oh, how they'll see so perfectly all I can be

When I start to make some waves

Like swimming against a strong current

I must stay on course and be steady

Till I prove to mom that I'm ready

With the bit of magic from my mermaid comb

I'll put up a tiny twister and show them all that I can hold

That I'm so much more than what they say

Oh, how they'll see so perfectly all I can be

When I start to make some waves

How I yearn for this time to start to turn just like the sea

There is so much inside of me

My skills are still unknown

But I have this mermaid comb

So if I make a splash right here

I could be mermaid of the year

Soon I'll be getting cheers and praise

I gurantee Cora will see, Mom will agree

When I start to make some waves

I gotta make some waves

I'm gonna make some waves
