Moana

Make way make way

Moana it's time you knew

The village of Motunui is all you need

The dancers are practicing

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

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 our baskets

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 realize happiness is where you are

Consider the coconut

The what

Consider it's tree

We use each part of the coconut

That's all we need

We make our nets from the fibers

The water's sweet inside

We use the leaves to build fires

We cook up the meat inside

Consider the coconuts

The trunks and the leaves

The island gives us what we need

And no one leaves

That's right we stay

We're safe and we'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 fibers

The water's sweet inside

We use the leaves to build 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 right

Where you are

Where you are
