CMoana, make Cway, make way
CMoana, it's time you knew
CThe village of Motunui is Fall you Gneed
CThe dancers are practicing
CThey dance to an ancient song
C(Who needs a new song? This old one's Fall Gwe Cneed)
This Ctradition is our mission
And CMoana, there's so much to do
CDon't trip on the taro root, that's Fall you Gneed
CWe share everything we make
CWe joke, and we weave our baskets (ah-ha!)
CThe fishermen come back from the Gsea
I Cwanna Amsee
CMoana, stay on the ground now
AmOur people will need a chief, and Cthere you Gare
AmThere comes a day
CWhen you're gonna look around
FAnd realize happiness is Fwhere you Gare
CConsider the coconut
CConsider its tree
We use Ceach part of the coconut, that's Fall we Gneed
CWe make our nets from the fibers
CThe water is sweet inside
CWe use the Fleaves to build fires
GWe cook up the Cmeat inside
CConsider the coconuts
CThe trunks and the leaves (ha!)
CThe island Fgives us what we G need
And Cno one Amleaves...
CWe're safe, and we're well provided
AmAnd when we look to the future, Cthere you Gare
AmYou'll be okay
CIn time you'll learn just as I did
FYou must find happiness right Fwhere you Gare...

EmBut once you know what you like, well, Fthere you Gare
