Moana
make way, make way
Moana it's time you knew
the village of Motonui
is all you need
the dancers are practising
they dance to
an ancient song
Who needs a new song
this old one's all we need
This tradition is our
mission and Moana
there's so much to do
Make way!
Don't trip on the taro root
that's all you need
We share everything
we make
we make
we joke and
we weave our baskets
aha!
The fishermen come
back from the sea
I... wanna see
Don't walk away
Moana stay on the ground
now our people will need
a chief and
there you are
there comes a day
When you're gonna
look around
and realise happiness
is where you are
Consider the coconut
The what?
Consider its tree
we use each part
of the coconut
that's all we need
We make our nets
from the fibres
the water is sweet inside
we use the leaves to build
fires, we cook up
the meat inside
Consider the coconuts
the trunk
and the leaves
the island gives us
what we need
And no-one leaves
that's right you stay
you're safe and
you're well provided
And when we look
to the future
there you are
you'll be okay
In time you'll learn
just as I did
you must find happiness
right where you are
I like to dance with the
water, the undertow and
the waves, the water is
mischievous, ha!
I like how it misbehaves
The village may think
I'm crazy
or say that I drift too far
but once you know
what you like
well there you are
You are your
father's daughter
stubbornness and pride
mind what he says
but remember, you may
hear a voice inside
And if the voice
starts to whisper
to follow the farthest star
Moana that voice
inside is who you are
We make our nets
from the fibres
the water is sweet inside
we use the leaves to make
fires, we cook up
the meat inside
The village believes in us
The village believes
The island gives us
what we need
And no-one leaves
So here I'll stay
My home
my people beside me
and when I think
of tomorrow
there we are
I'll lead the way
I'll have my people
to guide me
we'll build our future
together
where we are
'Cause every path
leads you back to
where you are
you can find happiness
where you are
where you are
