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) who I'm meant to be
Voyaging the sea (te atea)
(We′re back!)

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 (higher)
Ugh, I can't wait ′til I retire
The ancestors would be proud
What once was lost has been found!

Finally, we're back
To who we're meant to be
Who we′re meant to be, who we′re meant to be
Do you have to sing?
Yes, we have to sing
Ugh


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!

Welcome our brave Moana!
Ooh, I wonder what she brought us!
The new canoe needs inspecting
There′s always something to fix on board
The village believes in her (that's right!)
The village believes

Oh, I made it past the reef!
Race "the chief" to shore?
Aww, Dad!
It's never much of a race

(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, hey

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 (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
(Te atea, 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
