More(Outtake) - Marcy Harriell
I count the steps from one end of my island to the other
It's 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 listen 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
Sure 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
She's 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
Can you drown at the call of the sea
'Cause I can hear it calling me
A thousand years ago we use to sail to distant islands
A thousand year 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 pride
With the ocean as my guide on the tide
I will go where no one's ever been before
There's always more
