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 Where I long to be See the light where the sky meets the sea It calls me 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 could 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 light 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
