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
 
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
 
Translation

Hanggang Saan ang Hangganan Ko

Laging nasa dalampasigan
ang aking isipan 'di mawari ang dahilan
Nais sundin ang payo ng magulang
Ngunit di ko maiwasang lumapit sa karagatan
Sa bawat ikot ko, bawat yapak ko
May landas na nasa isipan ko
Kahit nais kong puntahan ito, 'di maaari
 
Tanaw ko ang hangganan ng dagat at langit
ngunit gaano kalawak 'to?
Kung aakay sa akin ang ihip ng hangin, malalaman ko,
Kung tatahakin ko, hanggang saan ang hangganan ko?
 
Alam ko, bawat isa sa'min sa isla, tila may ngiti at tawa
Ito'y nakaguhit na
Alam ko, bawat isa sa'min sa isla ay may sariling tungkulin
gawin ko rin kaya ang sa'kin
Kaya taas noong, pagbutihan ko
ang pamumuno. Iyan ang layunin ko
ngunit tila iba ang sinisigaw
ng damdamin
 
Tanaw ko ang kislap ng liwanag sa tubig
ngunit gaano kalalim 'to?
Tinatawag ako, ako'y hanapin, Sabihin
anong nasa dulo kung maari ko bang tahakin to?
 
Tanaw ko ang hangganan ng dagat at langit
ngunit gaano kalawak 'to?
Kung aakay sa akin ang ihip ng hangin,
malalaman ko ang hangganan ko
