How Far I’ll GoFrom Moana
Class: _______________ Name: ____________
Ms. Claire’s English Class
Time can be split into three periods: present, past, future.
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 will 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 will know, how far I will go
present What you do regularly
Past What you did
future What you are going to do
