How Far I'll Go

Writer(s): 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 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
