Where You Are

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 (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 (ah-ha!)
 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 its tree
 We use each part of the coconut, that's all we need
 We make our nets from the fibers
 The water is sweet inside
 We use the leaves to build fires
 We cook up the meat inside
 Consider the coconuts
 The trunks and the leaves (ha!)
 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 (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 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
