CHORUS

Nō tawhiti, nō tata
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou
ahakoa nō hea mai koe
ka whawhai tonu mātou mou

No matter if you’re near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you come from
We’ll fight for your freedom

STAN WALKER

Ko au tō maunga, tū tonu
ko te moana pari mai koe
ko koe te awa i taku remu, ko tāua ano tāua
nō te one i Kurawaka, hei tiaki i te whenua nei

I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me
You are the river that runs through me, I am her she is me
Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land

TROY KINGI

Aotearoa
he iwi kaha tātou
he mana tuku iho mai anō
whenua haumako
wairua ora
whāia tō ora
ki te mutunga

New Zealand
Where we come from we were made to be strong
Our legacy will carry on
And if a piece of home
Resonates in your soul
Your journey will take you
Where you belong

Nō tawhiti, nō tata
nō te whenua o te Atua tātou
ahakoa nō hea mai koe

RIA HALL

He kōrero tō te whenua, heke mai ki a tātou
he toa au mōna e oke nei e
e kore au e hinga
he uri nō te roimata
te toto o ngā tūpuna
e kore au e wehi ē

The heritage of this land is deep, we are it’s legacy
I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory
Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear

TROY KINGI

Kia kaha tātou ki tāu i pai ai
Whakatinana, kaua e ngutu noa
whenua haumako, wairua ora
whaia to ara ki te mutunga

We strive to move to our destiny
we practice more than what we preach
and if a piece of home resonates in your soul
your journey will take you where you belong

In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
