Lyrics

Mo a na!

Make (Dm)way!

Make (Bb)way!

Mo a na, it’s time you knew the vil lage of Mo tu nui is (Bb)all you (C)need.

The danc ers are prac tic ing!

They dance to an an cient (Bb)song.

Who needs a new song?

This old one’s (Bb)all we (F)need.

This tra di tion is our mis sion, and Mo (Dm)a na, there’s so much to do.

Don’t trip on the ta ro root that’s (Bb)all you (C)need.

We share ev ’ry thing we make.

We joke and we weave our (Bbmaj7)bas kets.

The fish er men come back from the (C)sea.

I (F)wan na (Dm)see.

Don’t walk a way.

Mo a na, stay on the ground now; our peo ple will need a chief, and (F)there you are.

There comes a day

when you’re gon na look a round and re al ize hap pi ness is where you (C)are.

Con sid er the co co nut.

Con sid er its tree.

(Bb)We (F)use each part of the co co nut; it’s (Bb)all we (C)need.

We make our nets from the fi bers, the wa ter is sweet in (Bb)side, we use the leaves to build fires, and cook up the (F)meat in side.

Con sid er the co co nuts, the trunks and the (Bb)leaves.

The is land (Bb)gives us what we (C)need.

And (F)no one (Dm)leaves.

That’s right, we stay.

We’re safe, and we’re well pro vid ed.

And when we look to the fu ture, (F)there you are.

You’ll be o kay.

In time you’ll learn, just as I did; you must find hap pi ness right (Bbmaj7)where you (C)are.

I like to dance with the wa ter, the un der tow and the waves.

The wa ter is mis chie vous, ha!

I like how it mis be haves.

The vil lage may think I’m cra zy or say that I (C)drift too far; but once you know what you like, well, (Bb)there you (C)are.

You are your fa ther’s daugh ter; stub born ness and pride.

Mind what he says, but re mem ber, you may hear a voice in side.

And if the voice starts to whis per to fol low the far thest star, Mo a na, that voice in side is (C)who you are.

We make our nets from the fi bers, the wa ter is sweet in (Bb)side, we use the leaves to build fires, and cook up the (F)meat in side.

The vil lage be lieves in us!

The vil lage be lieves!

The is land (Bb)gives us what we (C)need.

And (F)no one (Dm)leaves.

So here I’ll stay.

My home, my peo ple be side me.

And when I think of to mor row, (F)there we are.

I’ll lead the way.

I’ll have my peo ple to guide me.

We’ll build our fu ture to geth er (Bbmaj7)where we (C)are.

’Cause ev ’ry (Fmaj9)path leads you back to (Bbmaj7)where you (C)are.

You can find (F)hap pi ness right (Gm)where you (Am)are,

(Bbmaj9)where you (C7)are.
