· by Lin-Manuel Miranda
I’ve been star ing at the edge of the wa ter long as I can re mem ber, nev er real ly know ing why.
I wish
I could be the per fect daugh ter, but I come back to the wa ter no mat ter how hard I try.
Ev ’ry breath I take, ev ’ry trail I track, ev ’ry path I make, ev ’ry road leads back to the place I know where I can not 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 be hind me,
one day I’ll know.
If I go, there’s just no tell ing how far I’ll go!
This page shows “How Far I'll Go (From Moana) (Arr. Phillip Keveren)” by Lin-Manuel Miranda in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Bb at 160 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
