Where You Are Lyrics - Auli'i Cravalho

Chief Tui: 

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 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 

Moana: 

I wanna see 

Chief Tui: 

Don't walk away 

Moana, stay on the ground now 

Our people will need a chief 

And there you are 

Chief Tui and Sina: 

There comes a day 

When you're gonna look around 

And realize happiness is 

Where you are 

Chief Tui: 

Consider the coconut 

(The what?) 

Consider its tree 

We use each part of the coconut 

That's all we need 

Sina: 

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) 

Chief Tui: 

Consider the coconuts 

(Consider the coconuts) 

The trunks and the leaves 

(Ha!) 

The island gives us what we need 

Moana: 

And no one leaves 

Chief Tui: 

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 

Chief Tui and Sina: 

You must find happiness right 

Where you are 

Gramma Tala: 

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 

Villagers: 

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 choir) 

We cook up the meat inside 

(We have mouths to feed inside) 

Chief Tui: 

The village believes in us 

(That's right!) 

The village believes 

(Ha!) 

The island gives us what we need 

And no one leaves 

Moana: 

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 

Villagers: Where we are 

Moana: 

'Cause every path leads you back to 

Villagers: 

Where you are 

Moana: 

You can find happiness right - 

Villagers: 

Where you are 

Where you are
