How far I’ll go

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.

Ev’ry turn I take, ev’ry trail I track,
Ev’ry path I make, ev’ry 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 ev’rybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island.
Ev’rything is by design.

I know ev’rybody 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 diff’rent 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?

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!
