Where You Are Lyrics by Christopher Jackson, Rachel House, Nicole Scherzinger, Auli’i Cravalho, Louise Bush

Moana (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2016

[CHIEF TUI]
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
[ELDERS]
Who needs a new song? This old one's all we need
[CHIEF TUI, VILLAGERS, VILLAGERS & CHIEF TUI]
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
[BABY MOANA]
I wanna see
[CHIEF TUI, CHIEF TUI & VILLAGERS]
Don't walk away
Moana, stay on the ground now
Our people will need a chief and there you are
[CHIEF TUI & SINA, CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
There comes a day
When you're gonna look around
And realize happiness is where you are
[CHIEF TUI, VILLAGERS, CHIEF TUI & VILLAGERS]
Consider the coconut (The what?)
Consider its tree
We use each part of the coconut, that's all we need
[SINA & VILLAGERS]
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 & VILLAGERS]
Consider the coconuts (Consider the coconuts)
The trunks and the leaves (Ha!)
[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
The island gives us what we need
[YOUNG MOANA]
And no one leaves
[CHIEF TUI, CHIEF TUI & VILLAGERS]
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 & SINA, CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
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
[MEN, SINA & WOMEN]
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)
To cook up the meat inside (We have mouths to feed inside)
[CHIEF TUI, MEN & WOMEN]
The village believes in us (Ha! That's right!)
[CHIEF TUI, SINA & WOMEN, MEN]
The village believes (Ha!)
[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
The island gives us what we need
[CHIEF TUI]
And no one leaves
[MOANA, MOANA & VILLAGERS]
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
[MOANA & VILLAGERS]
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
