"We're Back" is the first song in Disney's Moana 2, performed by Auli'i Cravalho (Moana). The opening number celebrates Moana and the people of Motunui reclaiming their heritage as explorers, coming back to who they're "meant to be".
Sailing from the horizon
Back to our home, our island
Coming into our view
Beneath the morning sky
We're back
From new shores we've been exploring
Returning to tell our story
Connected with both the land and sea
(Aue, aue)
Finally we're back
To who we're meant to be
Who I'm meant to be
Voyaging the sea
We're back
The village is lush and thriving
Weaving new kites for flying
Building new homes and families
Our people just keep expanding
We're back
Let's pull the roof higher
I can't wait till I retire
The ancestors would be proud
What once was lost has been found
Finally we're back
To who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
Do you have to sing?
Yes, we have to sing
Hey, kids
Gather round if you wanna hear about
The greatest wayfinder of all time
A living legend, and she's besties with a demigod
Like super besties
Together they saved our land, and then, like, totally set us free
What's next? We'll see
How much better could it be?
Unless Maui was also friends with me
Yeah, right
Look, she's coming!
Welcome our brave Moana
I wonder what she brought us
The new canoe needs inspecting
There's always something to fix on board
The village believes in her
(That's right)
The village believes
I made it past the reef
Race the Chief to shore?
Aw, Dad, it's never much of a race
The life is back in the water
Our people have come out stronger
The voyaging past we honor
Thanks to our daughter, oh, hey
Sailing from the horizon
Can't wait to reach my island
The home I've been missing, and the life I'm meant to lead
We're back
Moana, she points us to the
Future of Motunui
Connected with both the land and sea
Oh, finally, we're back
To who we're meant to be
Of the land and sea
Finally we're back
To who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
Who we're meant to be
