We Know The Way

By Lin Manuel Miranda and Others

A celebration of exploration

Based on the movie Moana. Original context here. The original lyrics aren’t changed, but the Samoan parts are dropped and the third verse is new.

Lyrics

We read the wind and the sky when the sun is high
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze
At night, we name every star
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

Aue, aue
We set a course to find
A brand new island everywhere we roam
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way

We ride an arrow of flame, to a world unnamed
We cross the highest of seas on the solar breeze
Under the light of new stars
We know where we are
We know who we are, who we are

Aue, aue
We are explorers reading every sign
We tell the stories of our elders
In the never ending chain
Aue, aue
We keep our planet in our mind
And when it's time to find home
We know the way
