Lyrics

I've been standing 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

Though 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

Go-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Go-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

I'll go
