CG See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me AmF And no one knows, how far it goes CG If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me AmFm One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go CGAmF
CDm7Am I know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island F Everything is by design CDm7Am I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island F So maybe I can roll with mine Am I can lead with pride, I can make us strong G I'll be satisfied if I play along C But the voice inside sings a different song Fm What is wrong with me? CG See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding AmF But no one knows, how deep it goes CG And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me AmF And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
