We Know The Way
Lin-Manuel Miranda / Opetaia Foa'i
Tatou o tagata folau e vala’auina
E le atua o le sami tele e o mai
Ia ava’e le lu’itau e lelei
Tapenapena
Aue, aue
Nuku i mua
Te manulele e tataki e
Aue, aue
te fenua, te malie
Nae ko hakilia mo kaiga e
We read the wind and the sky
When the sun is high
We sail the length of sea
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 row
Aue, aue
We keep our island in our mind
And when it’s time to find home
We know the way
Aue, aue
we are explorers reading every sign
we tell the stories of our elders
in the never ending chain
Aue, aue
te fenua, te malie
Nae ko hakilia
We know the way
