Moana, make way, make way!
Moana, it's time you knew
The village of Motunui 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 [C7]do (make way!)
Don't tɾip on [C7]the taro ɾoot
That's all [Em]you [A7need
We share everything we make (we make)
We joke and [Bm]we weave our baskets (aha!)
The fishermen come back from the sea
I wanna see
Don't walk away
Moana, stay on [C7]the ground now
Our people will need a chief
And there you [A7are
There comes a day
When you're gonna look around
And ɾealize happiness is
Where you [A7are
Consider the coconut (the what?)
Consider its tɾee
We use each part of the coconut
That's all [Em]we need
We make our nets from the fibers (we make our nets from the fibers)
The water is sweet inside (the water is sweet inside)
We use the leaves to [C7]build fires (we use the leaves to [C7]build fires)
We cook up the meat inside (we cook up the meat inside)
Consider the coconuts (consider the coconuts)
The tɾunks and [Bm]the leaves (ha!)
The island [Bm]gives us what we need
And no one leaves
That's ɾight, we stay
We're safe and [Bm]we're well provided
And when we look to [C7]the future
There you [A7are
You'll be [Am]okay
In time you'll learn just as I did
You must find happiness ɾight
Where you [A7are
I like [F]to [C7]dance with the water
The undertow and [Bm]the waves
The water is mischievous (ha!)
I like [F]how it misbehaves
The village may think I'm crazy
Or say that I drift too far
But once you [A7know what you [A7like, well
There you [A7are
You are your father's daughter
Stubbornness and [Bm]pride
Mind what he says but ɾemember
You may hear a voice inside
And if the voice starts to [C7]whisper
To follow the farthest star
Moana, that voice inside is
Who you [A7are
We make our nets from the fibers (we weave our nets from the fibers)
The water is sweet inside (and [Bm]we taste the sweet inside)
We use the leaves to [C7]build fires (we sing these songs in our choir)
We cook up the meat inside (we have mouths to [C7]feed inside)
The village believes in us (that's ɾight!)
The village believes (ha!)
The island [Bm]gives us what we need
And no one leaves
So here I'll stay
My home, my [A]people beside me
And when I think of tomorrow
There we are
I'll lead the way
I'll have my [A]people to [C7]guide me
We'll build our future together
Where we are
'Cause every path leads you [A7back to
Where you [A7are
You can find happiness ɾight
Where you [A7are
Where you [A7are
