(Verse 1 - The Meeting)
(Slow, heavy drumming, sound of waves)
I have sailed past the reef where the white foam sprays
Beyond the edge where the sky meets the sea
Leaving behind the volcanic haze
To find a spirit that is wild and free
She stands on the shore, not afraid of the gale
With a gaze that looks far beyond the sail
A daughter of islands, with a heart of fire
Unbound by the rules of a sheltered choir
(Chorus - The Description)
(Tempo increases, ukulele and light percussion)
Oh, she moves with the tide, she’s a force of the ocean
A warrior princess, with a fearless devotion
Like the daughter of Motunui, she follows the call
Not a fragile treasure, but the strength of us all
She’s the navigator, the light on the sea
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
(Verse 2 - The Traits)
(Warrior speaks with admiration)
I see her eyes, full of wonder and pride
With the tide of her ancestors deep inside
She wears no crown, but a shell in her hair
With a quiet strength, beyond compare
She loves her people, she guards the shore
But her heart is longing for something more
She challenges the winds, she commands the wave
Oh, the princess is headstrong, and true, and brave
(Chorus - The Description)
Oh, she moves with the tide, she’s a force of the ocean
A warrior princess, with a fearless devotion
Like the daughter of Motunui, she follows the call
Not a fragile treasure, but the strength of us all
She’s the navigator, the light on the sea
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
(Bridge - The Connection)
(Chanting style, similar to "An Innocent Warrior")
Ou mata e matagi (Your eyes are the wind)
Ou loto mamaina toa (Your heart is an innocent warrior)
She has found the way, through the deepest blue
And I know I will follow, wherever she goes too
Iei ki na! (It is she!)
(Guitar/Ukulele Solo - Upbeat)
(Chorus - Final)
(Powerful, full music)
Oh, she moves with the tide, she’s a force of the ocean
A warrior princess, with a fearless devotion
Like the daughter of Motunui, she follows the call
Not a fragile treasure, but the strength of us all
She’s the navigator, the light on the sea
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
A Moana spirit, she was made to be free
(Outro)
(Sound of calming ocean waves, slow fading)
I know the way...
She is the ocean...
Moana...
