I Am Moana (Song Of The Ancestors)

I know a girl from an island.

She stands apart from the crowd.

(G6)She loves the sea and her people.

(D)She makes her whole fam'ly proud.

(G)Sometimes the world seems against you.

The journey may leave a scar,

(C)but scars can heal and reveal just (D)where you are.

(G)The people you love will change you.

(Gmaj7)The things you have learned will guide you.

(C)And nothing on earth can silence (D)the quiet voice still inside you.

(G)And when that voice starts to whisper,

"Moana, you've come so far,"

(C)Moana, listen:

do you know (D)who you are?

(Em)I am a girl who loves my (D6)island,

and the girl who loves the (C6)sea:

it calls me.

(Em)I am the daughter of the village (D6)chief.

We are descended from (Asus)voyagers who found their way across the (A)world:

they call me.

(C)(Yaykena.) I've delivered us to where we are.

(Em)(Yaykena.) I have journeyed farther.

(G)(Yaykena.) I am ev'rything I've learned and (Dsus)more.

Still it calls me.

(D)And the (F)call isn't out there at all,

it's inside (Csus)me.

It's like the (Dm)tide, always falling and (Bbmaj7)rising.

I will (F)carry you here in my heart;

you remind (Csus)me that come what (Dm)may,

I know the (Csus)way.

I am (Dsus)Moana!

(Bb)(Yaykena. (Dm)Yaykena.

(F)Yaykena Tama toe (C)teney!)
