Daughter of the Horizon

(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...
