Hello everyone it's Hive Open Mic week 274. I will be singing the song titled "How far I'll go" by Alessia Cara
"How Far I’ll Go" from Moana connects beautifully with this week’s theme, Mermaid. In many mermaid movies, the mermaid characters are often restricted by their parents to a safe part of the ocean, warned not to venture into the deeper, darker areas where danger is said to dwell. However, the curious ones, the bold and adventurous mermaids, always feel drawn to explore beyond those limits.
This same feeling is captured in the song. The lyrics speak of someone who tries to live up to expectations, choosing safety, yet deep down, she feels a powerful calling from the sea, a desire to break free, to explore, and to discover a new path. Even though she is surrounded by love, family, and beauty, there’s an inner voice pushing her toward something more. It’s a song about freedom, self-discovery, and the strength to go beyond what you’ve always known.
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?
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
