How Far I'll Go - Moana

Individuality




It’s a song about me.
It’s a song about me.
It’s a song about my individuality.
About the clothes I wear.
About the colour of my hair.
And it’s about who I want to be near.
It’s a song about me.
It’s a song about me.

Sometimes I just want to be all by myself,
And sometimes I don’t.
Sometimes we do agree,
And sometimes we don’t.
Sometimes I want to do the same as you.
I might also change my mind!

It’s good
That all our faces aren’t the same.
And it’s good
That we all have a different name.
And it’s good
That we are all a different shape
Tall, short, big, small, in between.

You like…
To eat sardines with jam on top.
And I like…
To drink hot chocolate till I pop.
And you like…
To spread your toast with marmalade.

I’ll try yours if you try mine.

Paradise - with sign language

In the morning, can you hear the tui call?  
Can you hear the tui call, can you?
Then in the evening when the sun goes down
And the moon is out, hold my hand.

Chorus
Can we chill underneath this pohutakawa tree,
Life is a breeze like 1,2,3 ahuh. Come on.
Let’s take a dip in the ocean and watch the sunset.
Time is precious that’s what we forget oh no.   
It’s gone...

This is, where the taniwha was born.   
Where Maui drew his hook, my home
And no one can take this away from me
My land is a part of me till I’m old.

Chorus   

Bridge
Hold my hand and raise your glass to
Life in paradise, paradise.   
I can take you places people only dream of.   
But it’s all mine in paradise.

Chorus

Coda
Time is precious that’s what we forget
Time is precious that’s what we forget oh no, it’s gone
Time is precious that’s what we forget time is precious, oh no, it’s gone.
