Lyrics: Lin-Manuel Miranda
Music: 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 (how hard I try, 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 (it calls me, calls me)
And no one knows, how far it goes (goes, oh)
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me (behind, behind me)
One day I'll know
How far I'll go (how far I'll go)
