We Know the Way

Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena

Aue, aue
Nuku I mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
Te fenua, te malie,
Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e

We ɾead the wind and [Bm]the sky
When the sun is high
We sail the length of sea
On the ocean breeze
At night we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

Aue, aue,
We set a course to [C7]find
A brand [Bm]new island [Bm]everywhere we ɾow
Aue, aue,
We keep our island [Bm]in our mind
And when it’s time to [C7]find home
We know the way

Aue, aue, we are explorers ɾeading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders
In the never ending chain

Aue, aue
Te fenua, te mālie
Nā heko hakilia
We know the way
