Lyrics-
Verse 1:
Kia mau ki te awa (Hold fast to the river) Kia mau ki te maunga (Hold fast to the mountain) Kia mau ki te whenua (Hold fast to the land) Tamariki ma! (Listen up children!) Me haere tahi ki uta, ki uta (Let’s go together to the shore) Me haere tahi ki te tihi teitei (Let’s go together to the highest peak) X2
Chorus:
Kei whea te manaakitanga? (Where is the love/respect for others?) Kei whea te mauri? (Where is the essence of life?) Kei te ngākau (It’s in the heart) Kei te ngākau (It’s in the heart) X2
Verse 2:
Kia mau ki te wairua (Hold fast to the power of the spirit) Kia mau ki te kaupapa (Hold fast to the principles/values) Kia mau ki te tangata (Hold fast to the people) Tamariki ma! (Listen up children!) Me haere tahi ki uta, ki uta (Let’s go together to the shore) Me haere tahi ki te tihi teitei (Let’s go together to the highest peak) X2
Chorus 2:
Kei whea te manaakitanga? (Where is the love/respect for others?) Kei whea te mauri? (Where is the essence of life?) Kei te ngākau (It’s in the heart) Kei te ngākau (It’s in the heart) X2
