More Lyrics

I count the steps from one end of my island to the other
Its 100 steps from where I sleep to the sea
And when I say I've learned all there is to know
Well there's another little island lesson, grandma Tala shows me

I know where I am from the scent of the breeze
The ascent of the climb from the tangle of the trees
From the angle of the mountain to the sand on our island shore
I've been here before

There's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more
Someday I'll be out on the sea
And I'm gonna see more
Yes, there's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more

Moana slow down
Sorry I'm always in somebody's way
They do the same thing every day
They work, they eat, they sleep, they pray
They tell me "Moana calm down"
That's all they ever seem to say
The other kids just dance and play
How can you play there's so much out there to explore

She stares at the sky, she stumbles down the beaches
She mumbles all the names that her grandma
Tala teaches
And I wanna soar
With one foot here and another in the distant past
So much to explore

Shes growing up too fast
Like I said before
There's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more
One day I'll be brave and sail on the wave
That leads me to more
There's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more
My father the Chief, says "Don't cross the reef"
But oh every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back to the sea
I'm standing at the edge of the sea
As they all say "Moana slow down, Moana dream small, Moana don't drown"
Can you drown at the call of the sea?
'Cause I can hear it calling me

Aue, aue

A thousand years ago, we used to sail to distant islands
A thousand years ago, Maui spoke to the sea
So maybe, just maybe, I was born to break the silence
I know my story could be extraordinary
I know my story doesn't end at the shore

There's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more
I'm gonna break through, and find something new
I'm gonna find more
There's gotta be more
I know there's more, there's always more
One day I'll decide to roll with the tide
And I'm gonna see
Moana stand tall
I will cross the divide, I will ride
I will see what's on the other side
Moana stand proud
With the ocean as my guide, on the tide
I will go where no one's ever been before
There's always more
