Ko Whakapunake Te Maunga

Ko Waikaremoana Te Roto

Ko Waipoua Te Marae

Ko Horouta Te Waka

Ko Ngāti Hingahinga Te Hapu

Ko Ngāti Ruapani Te Iwi

Tena Koe

I wanna believe

I'm never alone

How does it feel

when you're finally Home? x2

The motorway was an awa

In the museum they put my waka

I feel at home in the city

I got my Tipuna with me

Tipuna with me

Ocean highways brought us here

Guided by Kōpū the morning star

To build an airport

You crushed up our maunga

To make a New World

You dug up our mara

The motorway was an awa

In the museum they put my waka

I feel at home in the city

I got my Tipuna with me

Tipuna with me

We'll all be stars, in the end

I'll pick up the pieces

And follow the clues

As the world burns

I want to believe x 4
