A     We read the wind and the sky
when the sun is high.
We sail the length of the seas on the ocean breeze.
D     At night, we name every star, E
we know where we are. A
We know who we are, who we are.
D     Aue, aue… A
We set a course to find
E7     a brand-new island everyAwhere we roam.
D     Aue, aue…
We Akeep our island in our mind
E7     and when it’s time to find home,
we know the way.

We know the way… A

We are voyagers summoned
By the God of this mighty ocean to come
We take up the good challenge
Get ready

Canoes on the move

Oh, oh
There is land up ahead
A bird in flight to take us there
Oh, oh
This beautiful land, the place I was looking for
We will make our home here

We read the wind and the sky

when the sun is high.
We sail the length of the seas on thе ocean breeze.
At night, we namе every star,

we know where we are.
We know who we are, who we are.

Oh, oh

We set a course to find
a brand-new island everywhere we roam.

Oh, oh

We keep our island in our mind
and when it’s time to find home, we know the way.

Oh, oh

We are explorers reading every sign,
we tell the stories of our elders in a never-ending chain.

We will make our home here

We know the way…
