How Far I'll Go lyrics
How Far I'll Go lyrics
I've been staring at the edge of the water
long as I can remember,
never really knowing why.
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
but I come back to the water,
no matter how hard I try,
every turn I take, every trail I track,
every path I make, every road leads back
to the place I know where I cannot go,
where I long to be.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
and no one knows how far it goes.
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
one day I’ll know.
If I go there’s just no telling how far I’ll go.
I know everybody on this island seems so happy,
on this island everything is by design.
I know everybody on this island has a role,
on this island, so maybe I can roll with mine.
I can lead with pride, I can make us strong,
I’ll be satisfied if I play along
but the voice inside sings a different song.
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea? It’s blinding
but no one knows how deep it goes.
And it seems like it’s calling out to me, so come find me
and let me know what’s beyond that line.
Will I cross that line?
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
and no one knows how far it goes.
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
one day I’ll know how far I’ll go.
