Unstoppable (Outtake) Songtext

von Lin-Manuel Miranda

Abandoned by his parents and raised by the gods,
Who could see he was destined for greatness,
Though he was no bigger than you, or me, as a baby, he was a demi-god
With lightning speed
And he gave our people all the things we need, yes, indeed
We were crawling on the ground
He looked around and said,
"You need a little more space,"
And he raised the sky so we could walk
So we could fly
(We were crawling on the ground
He looked around and said,
"You need a little more space,"
And he raised the sky so we could walk
So we could fly)
We were walking in the dark till Maui found a spark down in the underworld,
He climbed up higher and higher, bringing the gift of fire
(We were walking in the dark till Maui found a spark down in the underworld,
He climbed up higher and higher, bringing the gift of fire)
When Maui was around we were unstoppable
We shattered all the rules, ran free
We tore down every wall
And we answered the call of the sea
We used to sail with gods, we were unstoppable
(Unstoppable)
To islands we could go explore
(Explore)
With every breaking dawn
Our adventures would go on beyond the shore
Maui taught us how to see the waves
Maui taught us how the sea behaves
Maui taught us how to see the skies
Maui taught us how to see the way the seagull flies
Maui taught us how the stars can guide us
Secrets that the ocean can provide us
How to see our way through wind and rain and know the way back home is there inside us
We ran the world, we were unstoppable
We learned to sail the seas alone
With every escapade
We were brave and unafraid of the unknown
We gathered up our strength, we were unstoppable
(Unstoppable)
Chased the long horizon line
We faced tremendous odds
But we rumbled with the gods and we were fine
Master of disguise, he could assume any form any shape or size
He used to fight fantastic monsters, take 'em by surprise
(Master of disguise, he could assume any form any shape or size
He used to fight fantastic monsters, take 'em by surprise)
Till the fateful night, the only time he ever lost a fight a thousand years ago
Against a demon named
Te Po
Te Po
Te Po
Te Po
Te Po was a brutal land spirit
Legend says she devoured Maui whole
And with the disappearance of Maui came the end of our voyages
The villaness Te Po did the impossible
And Maui, just like that, was gone
Our demi-god,
Our friend
Fought for us until the end, and he lives on
For a thousand years we have made Motonui our home
But there can be a new Maui, a new generation
I am Moana, I am unstoppable
I know how big the world can be
If Maui lives in you, we can sail across the blue unending sea
Ready for what's next, we are unstoppable
We want to see the world beyond the shore
For Maui years ago
Taught us everything we know
So let's explore
We want more
We want more
We want more
Unstoppable
