Moana: I know these stars above the ocean
Now new skies call me by name
And suddenly, nothing feels the same
I know the path that must be chosen
But this is bigger than before
Winds have changed, tides turn me far away from shore
What waits for me forever far from home
From everything and everyone I've ever known?
What lies beyond under skies I've never seen?
Will I lose myself between my home and what's unknown?
If I go beyond, leaving all I love behind
With the future of our people still to find
Can I go beyond?
There is destiny in motion
And it's only just begun
Now will this life I've worked so hard for come undone?
They're calling me
I must reply
But if I leave
How could I ever say goodbye?
What lies beyond on the vast, uncharted sea?
Will I lose myself between all that we know right here?
And what's out there beyond, leaving all I love behind?
With the future of our people still to find
Can I go beyond?
If I'm not here to hold her hand
Will she grow to understand?
(pause)
Gramma Tala: I'll always be right beside you
But perhaps you're meant for more
I can't see where your story leads
But we never stop choosing who we are
Moana: I'll go beyond
And although I don't know when
I will reach these sands again
'Cause I know who I am
I am Moana of the land and of the sea
And I promise that is who I'll always be
I must go, I will go
They will know what lies beyond
We'll go beyond
And we'll reach it side by side
We are rising with the tide
No shore left unexplored
Racing toward beyond
Where we all begin again (Olo ake ake)
Where our sky and our horizon never end (Tago fano ki ei, ake ake)
We can rise, we will rise, we will rise (Fakamalohi, talitonuga)
We will go beyond (Te nofoaga, nofoaga tenei)
I know these stars above the ocean
Now new skies call me by name
And suddenly, nothing feels the same
I know the path that must be chosen
But this is bigger than before
Winds have changed, tides turn me far away from shore
What waits for me forever far from home
From everything and everyone I've ever known?
What lies beyond under skies I've never seen?
Will I lose myself between my home and what's unknown?
If I go beyond, leaving all I love behind
With the future of our people still to find
Can I go beyond?
There is destiny in motion
And it's only just begun
Now will this life I've worked so hard for come undone?
They're calling me
I must reply
But if I leave
How could I ever say goodbye?
What lies beyond on the vast, uncharted sea?
Will I lose myself between all that we know right here?
And what's out there beyond, leaving all I love behind?
With the future of our people still to find
Can I go beyond?
If I'm not here to hold her hand
Will she grow to understand?
I'll go beyond
And although I don't know when
I will reach these sands again
'Cause I know who I am
I am Moana of the land and of the sea
And I promise that is who I'll always be
I must go, I will go
They will know what lies beyond
