verse

Christopher JacksonChristopher Jackson & Nicole ScherzingerLouise BushMoana, make way, make wayMoana, it′s time you knewThe village of Motunui is all you needThe dancers are practicingThey dance to an ancient song(Who needs a new song? This old one's all we need)This tradition is our missionAnd Moana, there′s so much to do (make way)Don't trip on the taro root, that's all you needWe share everything we make (we make)We joke, and we weave our baskets (ah-ha!)The fishermen come back from the seaI wanna see

chorus

Christopher Jackson & Nicole ScherzingerChristopher JacksonDon′t walk awayMoana, stay on the ground nowOur people will need a chief, and there you areThere comes a dayWhen you′re gonna look aroundAnd realize happiness is where you are

verse

Christopher JacksonNicole ScherzingerChristopher Jackson & Nicole ScherzingerAuli'i CravalhoConsider the coconut (the what?)Consider its treeWe use each part of the coconut, that's all we needWe make our nets from the fibersThe water is sweet insideWe use the leaves to build firesWe cook up the meat insideConsider the coconutsThe trunks and the leaves (ha!)The island gives us what we needAnd no one leaves

chorus

Christopher Jackson & Nicole ScherzingerChristopher JacksonThat′s right, we stayWe're safe, and we′re well providedAnd when we look to the future, there you areYou'll be okayIn time you′ll learn just as I didYou must find happiness right where you are

verse

Rachel HouseNicole ScherzingerChristopher Jackson & Auli'i Cravalho & Nicole ScherzingerChristopher JacksonI like to dance with the waterThe undertow and the wavesThe water is mischievous, ha! I like how it misbehavesThe village may think I'm crazyOr say that I drift too farBut once you know what you like, well, there you areYou are your father's daughter, stubbornness and prideMind what he says but rememberYou may hear a voice insideAnd if the voice starts to whisperTo follow the farthest starMoana, that voice inside is who you areWe make our nets from the fibers (we weave our nets from the fibers)The water is sweet inside (and we taste the sweet inside)We use the leaves to build fires (we sing these songs in our choirs)And cook up the meat inside (we have mouths to feed inside)The village believes in us (ha, that′s right!)The village believes (ha!)The island gives us what we needAnd no one leaves

chorus

Auli'i CravalhoSo here I′ll stayMy home, my people beside meAnd when I think of tomorrow, there we areI'll lead the wayI′ll have my people to guide meWe'll build our future together where we are

outro

Auli'i Cravalho′Cause every path leads you back to where you areYou can find happiness right where you areWhere you areWriter(s): Mark A. Mancina, Lin-manuel Miranda, Opetaia Tavita Foa'i Add to favoritesShare
