Where You Are (From "Moana"/Soundtrack Version)

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 (aha!)

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 (we make our nets from the fibers)

The water is sweet inside (the water is sweet inside)

We use the leaves to build fires (we use the leaves to build fires)

We cook up the meat inside (we cook up the meat inside)

Consider the coconuts (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

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 (a real tasty treat inside)

We use the leaves to build fires (we sing these songs in our choirs)
