Maui

Intro

Hook it up

Big man stepping in the grass

Check the wind

Check the tides

Bringing the fire back to the people

Verse 1

Hooked a mountain

Tied the sun to a palm tree

Lassoed the rays so the day stays long

I made it for the islands

Pulled the dry land from the wet bottom

Every island you walk on is my work

Every trade wind you feel is my gift

Pre-Chorus

Look at the muscles

Watch how the hawk flies through the canyon

Listen to the wood split when I hit the dirt

I pulled it

I hauled it

I gave it all for the families

Chorus

He made the breeze blow

(He made it blow)

He brought the green home

(Brought it home)

All for the ocean daughter

All for the salt and water

He did it alone

(All alone)

Look what he gave you

(Gave it to you)

Verse 2

Stopped the lava

Buried the smoke in the deep trench

Caught the moon with a string made of vine

Built a wall of stone

Made the earth bloom for the hungry kids

Told the waves to move out of the way

Nobody bigger than the king of the sea

Pre-Chorus

See the marks on the back

Look at the ink that tells the whole tale

Hear the drum beat when I touch the sand

I did it

I lived it

I am the one you should thank now

Chorus

He made the breeze blow

(He made it blow)

He brought the green home

(Brought it home)

All for the ocean daughter

All for the salt and water

He did it alone

(All alone)

Look what he gave you

(Gave it to you)

Bridge

Shook the heavens down

Threw the lightning back

Grabbed the burning branch

Lifted the sky away

Put the stars in a line

Instrumental break

Verse 3

Warrior from the water

Wrestling beasts with a tooth and a fin

Swung the hook and the reef started moving

Legend of the currents

Lifting up the ceiling of the air

Handed out the warmth to the frozen clan

Kicking up the spray from the shallow shoals

Pre-Chorus 3

Tattoos showing the path

Feel the shake of the coast underfoot

Mind the way that the spirits provide

I stole it

I fixed it

I put the world back in balance

(Maui)

Chorus

He made the breeze blow

(He made it blow)

He brought the green home

(Brought it home)

All for the ocean daughter

All for the salt and water

He did it alone

(All alone)

Look what he gave you

(Gave it to you)

outro

Aha

what can I say besides

You're welcome

Really though

Don't trip on the gratitude

Just look at my biceps

I pulled the sky up with these hands

You see the hook

You see the hair

The god of all these islands just walked through

Now go eat a coconut and say thanks to Maui

I’m out

Peace
