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
(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
I wanna see
Don't walk away
Moana, stay on the ground now
Our people will need a chief
And there you are
There comes a day
When you're gonna look around
And realize happiness is
Where you are
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the Sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Consider the coconuts
(Consider the coconuts)
The trunks and the leaves (ha!)
The island gives us what we need
And no one leaves
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
You must find happiness right
Where you are
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
We make our nets from the fibers
The water is sweet inside
We use the leaves to build fires
We cook up the meat inside
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin'out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
So here you’ll stay
Your home, your people beside you
And when we think of tomorrow
There we are
You’ll lead the way
You’ll have your people to guide you
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
