Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the edge of the water
Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
[Verse 2]
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows how far it goes
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
I know everybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
[Verse 7]
I know everybody on this island
Has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
[Verse 8]
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?
[Verse 9]
See the light as it shines on the sea?
It's blinding
But no one knows how deep it goes
[Verse 10]
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?
[Verse 11]
The line where the sky meets the sea
It calls me
No one knows how far it goes
[Verse 12]
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
How far I'll go
