Mana'o mai (ia, mua)

Mana'o mai (ooheke)

Io io, ioa (aueke, kimua ia)

Te atea

Heke heke toku vaka (heke)

Te atea (fano)

Matagofie (eh te atea, te atea)

Matagofie (eh te atea)

Sailing from the horizon

Back to our home, our island

Coming into our view beneath the morning sky (oh, we're back)

From new shores, we've been exploring

Returning to tell our story

Connected with both the land and sea (aue, aue)

Finally, we're back

To who we're meant to be

(Eh te atea) who I'm meant to be

Voyaging the sea (te atea)

(We're back)

The village is lush and thriving

Weaving new kites for flying

Building new homes and families

Our people just keep expanding (oh, we're back)

Let's pull the roof higher

Ugh, I can't wait 'til I retire

The ancestors would be proud

What once was lost has been found

Finally, we're back

To who we're meant to be

(Who we're meant to be, who we're meant to be)

Do you have to sing?

Yes, we have to sing (ugh)

Hey, kids!

Gather 'round if you wanna hear about

The greatest wayfinder of all time

A living legend, and she's besties with a demigod

(Like super besties!)

Together, they saved our land, and then, like, totally set us free

What's next? We'll see

How much better could it be?

Unless Maui was also friends with me

(Yeah, right!)

Look, she's coming!

Welcome our brave Vaiana

(I wonder what she brought us)

The new canoe needs inspecting

There's always something to fix on board

The village believes in her (that's right!)

The village believes

I made it past the reef

Race the Chief to shore?

Aw, Dad, it's never much of a race

(Te atea)

The life is back in the water (he)

Our people have come out stronger (he)

The voyaging past we honor

Thanks to our daughter, whoa, hey

Sailing from the horizon

Can't wait to reach my island

The home I've been missing and the life I'm meant to lead (eh, we're back)

Vaiana, she points us to the future of Motunui

Connected with both the land and sea

Oh, finally, we're back

To who we're meant to be

(Te atea, te atea)

Of the land and sea

Finally, we're back

To who we're meant to be

(Who we're meant to be, who we're meant to be)
