You’re Welcome
Dwayne Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange
You don't even know how you feel
It's adorable
Well, it's nice to see that humans never change
Open your eyes, let's begin
Yes, it's really me, it's Maui
I know it's a lot
The hair, the bod
When you're staring at a demi-god
What can I say except, "You're welcome"
For the tides, the sun, the sky
Hey, it's okay, it's okay
You're welcome
I'm just an ordinary demi-guy
Hey
What has two thumbs and pulled up the sky
When you were waddling yea high?
This guy
When the nights got cold
Who stole you fire from down below?
You're lookin' at him, yo
Oh, also I lassoed the sun
You're welcome
To stretch your days and bring you fun
Also I harnessed the breeze
You're welcome
To fill your sails and shake your trees
So what can I say except you're welcome
For the islands I pulled from the sea
There's no need to pray, it's okay
You're welcome
Ha, I guess it's just my way of being me
You're welcome
You're welcome
Well, come to think of it
Kid, honestly I could go on and on
I could explain every natural phenomenon
The tide, the grass, the ground
Oh, that was Maui just messing around
I killed an eel
I buried its guts
Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts
What's the lesson?
What is the take-away?
Don't mess with Maui when he's on a break-away
And the tapestry here on my skin
Is a map of the victories I win
Look where I've been
I make everything happen
Look at that mean mini-Maui just tickety-tappin'
(Ha ha ha ha ha ha, hey)
Well, anyway let me say, "You're welcome" (you're welcome)
For the wonderful world you know
Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you're welcome (you're welcome)
Well, come to think of it, I gotta go (hey)
Hey, it's your day to say, "You're welcome" (you're welcome)
'Cause I'm gonna need that boat
I'm sailing away, away, you're welcome (you're welcome)
'Cause Maui can do anything but float
(You're welcome)
You're welcome
(You're welcome)
You're welcome
And thank you
The song, "You're Welcome" by Dwayne Johnson, is a part of the soundtrack of the Disney movie "Moana." The song introduces the character of Maui, a demi-god, who has a conversation with the movie's protagonist, Moana. Maui comes across as extremely charismatic and confident, bragging about all his achievements, from pulling the sky to creating coconuts. He is aware that he is being worshipped by the people he is talking to, and he tells them they are welcome for all the things he has done for them. The song is upbeat and playful, and it effectively introduces the audience to Maui's character.
The song's lyrics are written in a conversational fashion, with Maui talking directly to the listener. The song is Maui's way of introducing himself, and it sets the tone for his character throughout the movie. It is a catchy tune with a simple message: Maui is strong, powerful, and quite sure of himself. This personality trait is essential to the setup of Maui’s arc in the movie, where he learns that he can be flawed, and he eventually learns how to correct his wrongs.

I planted a tree and now you have coconuts
What's the lesson?
What's the moral of the story?
