I count the steps from one end of my island to the otherIt’s 100 steps from where I sleep to the seaAnd when I say I've learned all there is to knowWell there's another little island lesson, grandma Tala shows me
I know where I am from the scent of the breezeThe ascent of the climb from the tangle of the treesFrom the angle of the mountain to the sand on our island shoreI've been here before
There's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always moreSomeday I'll beOut on the seaAnd I'm gonna see moreYes, there's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always…
Moana slow downSorry, I'm always in somebody's wayThey do the same thing every dayThey work, they eat, they sleep, they prayThey tell me "Moana calm down"That's all they ever seem to sayThe other kids just dance and playHow can you play, there's so much out there to explore
She stares at the sky, she stumbles down the beachesShe mumbles all the names that her grandma Tala teachesAnd I wanna soarWith one foot here and another in the distant pastSo much to exploreShe’s growing up too fastLike I said before
There's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always moreOne day I'll be braveAnd sail on the waveThat leads me to moreThere's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always moreMy father the ChiefSays "Don't cross the reef"
But oh, every turn I takeEvery trail I trackEvery path I makeEvery road leads back to the seaI'm standing at the edge of the seaAs they all say"Moana slow downMoana dream smallMoana don't drown"Can you drown at the call of the sea?'Cause I can hear it calling me
Aue, aue
A thousand years ago, we used to sail to distant islandsA thousand years ago, Maui spoke to the seaSo maybe, just maybe, I was born to break the silenceI know my story could be extraordinaryI know my story doesn't end at the shore
There's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always moreI'm gonna break throughAnd find something newI'm gonna find moreThere's gotta be moreI know there's moreThere's always moreOne day I'll decideTo roll with the tideAnd I'm gonna see...
Moana stand tallI will cross the divide, I will rideI will see what's on the other sideMoana stand proudWith the ocean as my guide, on the tideI will go where no one's ever been beforeThere's always more
