Lyrics

I know a girl from an is land.

She stands a part from the crowd.

She loves the sea and her peo ple.

She makes her whole fam ’ly proud.

Some times the world seems a gainst you.

The jour ney may leave a scar,

but scars can heal and re veal just (D)where you are.

The peo ple you love will change you.

The things you have learned will guide you.

And noth ing on earth can si lence the qui et voice still in side you.

And when that voice starts to whis per, “Mo a na, you’ve come so far,”

Mo a na, lis ten: do you know (D)who you are?

I am a girl who loves my (D6)is land, and the girl who loves the (C6)sea:

it calls me.

I am the daugh ter of the vil lage (D6)chief.

We are de scend ed from (Asus)voy a gers who found their way a cross the (A)world: they call me.

(C)(Yay ke na.) I’ve de liv ered us to where we are.

(Em)(Yay ke na.) I have jour neyed far ther.

(G)(Yay ke na.) I am ev ’ry thing I’ve learned and (Dsus)more.

Still it calls me.

And the (F)call is n’t out there at all, it’s in side me.

It’s like the (Dm)tide,

al ways fall ing and (Bbmaj7)ris

I will (F)car ry you here in my heart; you re mind me

I know the (Csus)way.

I am Mo (Dsus)a na!

(Bb)(Yay ke na.

(Dm)Yay ke na.

(F)Yay ke na Ta ma toe te (C)ney!)
