Lin-Manuel Miranda’s song from Disney’s blockbuster Moana is an inspiring call-and-response about following your dreams and following Moana as she strives to fulfill both duties as Chieftain’s Daughter as well as her itch to explore the ocean that pulls at her heartstrings.
Alessia Cara can now add a soundtrack singer to her list after performing this song from Moana for its end credits. Her rendition was played over them.
I’m ready to go.
Moana sings this song of her desire to explore new horizons, knowing her heart lies in the ocean. This empowering tune celebrates finding one’s path and exploring one’s true potential while reminding listeners not to give up following their dreams no matter where they may take them. Lin-Manuel Miranda could win an EGOT for his musical genius in this movie; “How Far I’ll Go” serves as proof.
I’m ready to find my way.
“I’m ready to find my way” is a powerful declaration for anyone searching for their destiny. It serves as a reminder that life’s rewards come only if we take risks and pursue our dreams, with Lin-Manuel Miranda’s song serving as an anthem of self-discovery and the courage necessary to pursue them. However, this song could present parents of young kids with an additional challenge: giving children false hope they are free to follow their paths without regard for parental boundaries.
Moana finds herself torn between her duties as the daughter of a chieftain and remaining on land and her desire to explore the ocean. While Moana wants perfection for herself and society, her freedom-loving nature means being an innovator or pioneer may make fitting in impossible. The community needs nonconformists like Moana to lead change forward.
Moana finds strength in herself when she hears a different tune inside of her, realizing she’s not alone in this world despite her fears and struggles to find her path in life. Finally, Moana sails towards the horizon, knowing there are more possibilities out there than she could ever expect, giving us all a powerful message that resonates across time and culture.
I’m ready to take a risk.
Moana’s desire to sail off into the horizon represents her longing for possibility – and is something women and girls everywhere can relate to regardless of our challenges in life.
Risking everything to achieve our dreams can be terrifying, yet taking risks can yield the biggest payoffs in life. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise; make your dream happen yourself!
This song from Disney’s hit Moana movie celebrates taking responsibility and finding yourself. Sung by film star Auli’i Cravalho, it will encourage you to overcome obstacles! It is sure to inspire!
