Lyrics

[Intro]
Fa'alogo i galuega, mana'o mai, mana'o mai (Ia, ooheke)
Io io, ioa (Aueke, kimua ia, heke)
Te atea, te atea
Heke heke toku vaka (Heke, fano)
Matagofie, matagofie
Eh te atea, te atea
[Verse 1]
Sailing from the horizon back to our home, our island
Coming into our view beneath the morning sky (Oh, we're back!)
From new shores we've been exploring, returning to tell our story
Connected with both the land and sea (Aue, aue!)
Finally, we're back to who we're meant to be
Eh te atea (Heke heke toku vaka)
Who I'm meant to be, voyaging the sea! (Matagofie)
Te atea, we're back!
[Verse 2]
The village is lush and thriving
Weaving new kites for flying
Building new homes and families, our people just keep expanding! (Oh, we're back!)
Let's pull the roof higher!
Ugh, I can't wait till I retire
The ancestors would be proud, what once was lost has been found! (Finally, we're back!)
We're back! Who we're meant to be (To who we're meant to be)
Who we're meant to be
[Bridge]
Do you have to sing?
Yes, we have to sing!
Hey, kids!
Gather 'round if you wanna hear about
The greatest wayfinder of all time! A living legend
And she's besties with a demigod! Like super besties!
Together they saved our land and then, like, totally set us free
What's next? We'll see
How much better could it be?
Unless Maui was also friends with me
Yeah, right!
Look! She's coming!
[Bridge]
Welcome our brave Moana!
I wonder what she brought us!
The new canoe needs inspecting
There's always something to fix on board
The village believes in her, the village believes! (That's right!)
Oh, I made it past the reef! Race "the chief" to shore?
Aw, Dad, it's never much of a race
[Verse 3]
(Te atea) The life is back in the water
Our people have come out stronger
The voyaging past we honor thanks to our daughter, whoa!
Sailing from the horizon, can't wait to reach my island
The home I've been missing and the life I'm meant to lead!
Eh, we're back! Moana, she points us to the future of Motunui
Connected with both the land and sea
Oh, finally, we're back to who we're meant to be
[Outro]
(Eh te atea) Of the land and sea
Oh, finally, we're back
To who we're meant to be!
Who we're meant to be! (Who we're meant to be!)
