(gentle music)

♪ I know these stars above the ocean ♪

♪ Now new skies call me by name ♪

♪ And suddenly nothing feels the same ♪

♪ I know the path that must be chosen ♪

♪ But this is bigger than before ♪

♪ Winds have changed tides from me far away from shore ♪

♪ What waits for me ♪

♪ Forever far from home ♪

♪ From everything ♪

♪ And everyone I've ever known ♪

♪ What lies beyond ♪

♪ Under skies I've never seen ♪

♪ Will I lose myself between my home and what's unknown ♪

♪ If I go beyond ♪

♪ Leaving all I love behind ♪

♪ With the future of a people still to find ♪

♪ Can I go beyond? ♪

♪ There is destiny in motion ♪

♪ And it's only just begun ♪

♪ Now will this life I've worked so hard for come undone? ♪

♪ They're calling me ♪

♪ I must reply ♪

♪ But if I leave ♪

♪ How could I ever say goodbye? ♪

♪ What lies beyond? ♪

♪ On the vast uncharted sea ♪

♪ Will I lose myself between ♪

♪ All that we know right here ♪

♪ And what's out there beyond ♪

♪ Leaving all I love behind ♪

♪ With the future of our people still to find ♪

♪ Can I go beyond? ♪

♪ If I'm not here to hold her hand ♪

♪ Will she grow to understand? ♪

(water rippling)

- Grandma! (waves lapping)

♪ I'll always be right beside you ♪

♪ But perhaps you're meant for more ♪

- Oh what are you so worried about?

- Its not like last time.

- Last time you weren't old enough

to understand all you could loose or learn.

But here we are, together still just a little different

I can't see where your story leads

but we never stop choosing who we are.

(inspiring peaceful music)

- This is bigger than Motunui, bigger than us.

So I will sail to new sky,

to reconnect the people of the entire ocean

and then I will return home.

(town cheering)
