Lyrics Moana Cast – Unstoppable (Outtake)
Text:
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
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!
Ensemble:

And he raised the sky
So we could walk, so we could fly!
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
We were walking in the dark
‘Til Maui found a spark, down in the Underworld
He climbed up higher and higher
Bringing the gift of fire

Lin-Manuel Miranda:
When Maui was around, we were unstoppable
We shattered all the rules, ran free
We tore down every wall
We used to sail with gods, we were unstoppable
To islands, we could go 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
How to see the way the seagull flies
Maui taught us how the stars can guide us
The 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
We chased the long horizon line
We faced tremendous odds
But we rumbled with the gods, and we were fine
Hey, master of disguise
He could assume any form, any shape or size
He used to fight fantastic monsters
Take ’em by surprise
Ensemble:

Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Until the fateful night
The only time he ever lost a fight
A thousand years ago
Against a demon named…
Ensemble:
Te-Pō…
Te-Pō…
Te-Pō…
Te-Pō…
Lin-Manuel Miranda:
Te-Pō was a brutal land spirit
Legend says, she devoured Maui whole, and with the disappearance of Maui came the end of our voyages
The villainous Te-Pō did the impossible
And Maui, just like that, was gone
Our demigod, our friend, fought for us until the end
And he lives on
For a thousand years, we have made Motunui 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
We’re 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!
