Where You Are Lyrics

[CHIEF TUI]
Moana, make way, make way
Moana, it's time you knew
The village of Motunui is all you need
The dancers are practicing
They dance to an ancient song

[ELDERS]
Who needs a new song?
This old one's all we need

[CHIEF TUI, VILLAGERS, VILLAGERS & CHIEF TUI]
This tradition is our mission
And Moana, there's so much to do (Make way)
Don't trip on the taro root, that's all you need
We share everything we make (We make)
We joke and we weave our baskets (Aha!)
The fishermen come back from the sea

[BABY MOANA]
I wanna see

[CHIEF TUI]
Don't walk away
Moana, stay on the ground now
Our people will need a chief and

[CHIEF TUI & VILLAGERS]
There you are

[CHIEF TUI & SINA]
There comes a day
When you're gonna look around
And realize happiness is

[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
Where you are

[CHIEF TUI, VILLAGERS, VILLAGERS & CHIEF TUI]
Consider the coconut (The what?)
Consider its tree
We use each part of the coconut
That's all we need

[SINA, VILLAGERS]
We make our nets from the fibers (We make our nets from the fibers)
The water is sweet inside (The water is sweet inside)
We use the leaves to build fires (We use the leaves to build fires)
We cook up the meat inside (We cook up the meat inside)

[CHIEF TUI, VILLAGERS]
Consider the coconuts (Consider the coconuts)
The trunks and the leaves (Ha!)

[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
The island gives us what we need

[YOUNG MOANA]
And no one leaves

[CHIEF TUI]
That's right, we stay
We're safe and we're well provided
And when we look to the future

[CHIEF TUI & VILLAGERS]
There you are

[CHIEF TUI]
You'll be okay
In time you'll learn, just as I did

[CHIEF TUI & SINA]
You must find happiness right

[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
Where you are

[GRAMMA TALA]
I like to dance with the water
The undertow and the waves
The water is mischievous, ha!
I like how it misbehaves
The village may think I'm crazy
Or say that I drift too far
But once you know what you like
Well, there you are

You are your father's daughter
Stubbornness and pride
Mind what he says, but remember
You may hear a voice inside
And if the voice starts to whisper
To follow the farthest star
Moana, that voice inside is who you are

[MEN, SINA & WOMEN]
We make our nets from the fibers
We weave our nets from the fibers
The water is sweet inside
A real tasty treat inside
We use the leaves to build fires
We sing these songs in our choirs
To cook up the meat inside
We have mouths to feed inside

[CHIEF TUI]
The village believes in us

[MEN]
Ha!

[WOMEN]
That's right

[CHIEF TUI, SINA & WOMEN, MEN]
The village believes (Ha!)

[CHIEF TUI, SINA & VILLAGERS]
The island gives us what we need

[CHIEF TUI]
And no one leaves

[MOANA]
So here I'll stay
My home, my people beside me
And when I think of tomorrow

[MOANA & VILLAGERS]
There we are

[MOANA]
I'll lead the way
I'll have my people to guide me
We'll build our future together

[VILLAGERS]
Where we are

[MOANA]
'Cause every path leads you back to

[VILLAGERS]
Where you are

[MOANA]
You can find happiness right

[VILLAGERS]
Where you are
Where you are

What did Christopher Jackson, Rachel House, Nicole Scherzinger, Auli'i Cravalho & Louise Bush say about "Where You Are"?

We always want to start within the rhythmic world of the Pacific islands, so this was… I’m sure there’s video of Mark and Opetaia and I just on drums, just finding rhythms we liked. And I remember on that one, Ope just started improvising, just sort of singing like, “nananaah,” just vowels, and we r...

What has Opetaia Foa'i said about the song?

We were at the animation studio, and I remember banging on a table, and Lin… came running, and Mark picked up a guitar and off we went. And then Lin took it home and finished off the lyrics, and that’s how it came off.

But just, the celebration of the South Pacific, or the Pacific Islands, as a par...
