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
