How Far I'll Go

How Far I'll Go - Anthem Lights

Lyrics by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

Composed by：Lin-Manuel Miranda

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 can not 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

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
