Lyrics
[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir] Hmmmm... Ka mahina ka mahina ka tuha... Ka tau ka tuha... Ka tau ka ngai ka tau te tau... A ka ngau ka noho Ko te aroha e tuku nei... Te ora e rongo nei. [Verse 1] Kaore au e neke i te maunga, Kaore au e huri i te rangi, Kaore au e tuhi i tōku ingoa I ngā wāhi tapu e moe ana ngā tīpuna. Engari ki te awhi i te hunga rawakore, Ki te whakaoho i te moemoeā, Ki te tuku i te tūmanako I ngā pō pouri e noho ana, Ka kore e kore tōku ora e whai tikanga. [Pre-Chorus] Nō te iti o te marama Ka peia te pōuri, Ā, nō te iti o te aroha Ka waiho te tohu e kore e ngaro. [Chorus] 🌍 Kei konei au... Ehara i te mea kia maumaharatia, Engari kia maumahara ki ētahi atu. Kei konei au... Ehara i te mea kia tū ki runga, Engari kia whakatika i ētahi atu. Ka whiti te ao i te rā nui Ka mutu taku hīkoi, Kua ea tēnā. Kei konei au. [Verse 2] Tētahi ka hanga i ngā kupu, Tētahi ka hanga i ngā ringa, Tētahi ka ako i te tamaiti, Tētahi ka whakatika i ētahi atu. Tētahi ka whakaora i te wairua pakaru, Tētahi ka whakawehi i te hinengaro ngenge, Tētahi ka waiho i te taonga, Tētahi ka waiho i tōna aroha. Ā, ko te aroha anake E kore e memeha. [Pre-Chorus] Nō te manawa e maumahara Ki ngā mea i ngaro i ngā kanohi, Ā, ko ētahi mahi pai Ka waiho hei ara mā ētahi atu. [Chorus] 🌍 Kei konei au... Ehara i te mea kia maumaharatia, Engari kia maumahara ki ētahi atu. Kei konei au... Ehara i te mea kia tū ki runga, Engari kia whakatika i ētahi atu. Ka whiti te ao i te rā nui Ka mutu taku hīkoi, Kua ea tēnā. Kei konei au. [Bridge – Choir Rising] Ka tuwhera te kupu whakamutunga, Ka waiatatia te waiata whakamutunga, Ehara i te whakataunga mō tōku ora Ehara i ngā mea i riro mai i ahau, Engari i ngā mea i tuku atu. Ehara i ngā hoa i hui mai, Engari i ngā hoa i kitea te ara. Ehara i te taonga i kohikohi mai, Engari i te tūmanako i waihotia. Nō te wairua katoa ka tuhi Tētahi kōrero i te ora o ētahi atu. [Final Chorus – Full Choir] 🌍 Kei konei au... Kua aroha nui. Kua tuku i te ngākau katoa. Kua moemoeā māia. Kua tū mā te atawhai. Kei konei au... Ā, i roto i te āpōpō Ka noho tōku wāhanga. I te kata i āwhina ahau ki te waihanga. I te taumaha i āwhina ahau ki te hiki. I te moemoeā i whakaoho i ahau. I te ora i huri ahau. 🌍 Ka whiti te ao i te rā nui Nō te mea kua haere ahau i tēnei ara, Kua ea tēnā. Kei konei au. [Outro – Choir & Piano Fade] Kotahi te ora... Kotahi te wā... Kotahi te mahi mīharo... Hei waiho i te ao Kia pai ake I te wā i tae mai ai mātou. Hmmmm... Kei konei au...
