"How Far I'll Go" is a power ballad from the 2016 feature film, Moana.
Summary[]
It is sung by Moana as a lament for being drawn to the ocean despite her father's wishes. It also serves as Moana's "I want" song. After mulling it over, she decides to try sailing beyond Motunui's reef, but fails shortly afterwards. Later on, after Gramma Tala passes away, Moana decides to go through with her dying wish and sets out to find Maui.
A pop version of the song plays during the end credits, performed by Canadian singer Alessia Cara.
Throughout Just Dance 2018, NOW and Unlimited, the song is covered as Disney Moana.
Lyrics[]
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
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?
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
There's a line where the sky meets the sea
And it calls me
But no one knows
How far it goes
All that time wondering where I need to be
Is behind me
I'm on my own
To worlds unknown
Every turn I take, every trail I track,
Is a choice I make
Now I can't turn back,
From the great unknown
Where I go alone
Where I long to be
See her light up the night in the sea
She calls me
And yes, I know
That I can go
There's a moon in the sky
And the wind is behind me
And soon I'll know
How far I'll go
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
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-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'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
What's beyond that line?
Will I cross that line?
And the line where the sky meets the sea
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me
So come find me
One day, I'll know
How far I'll go
