[Verse 1]

He wā ka mokemoke

Tahuri rā ki te rapa

Me ko wā noa te utu

Takahia tō ara

He kupu tē kitea mai

Kia mārama ai

Te ata kei tō mamae

Kia manawatahi ai


[Chorus]

Kua motu te here?

Te whakawhere?

Te matihere?

Kia pau rā ngā kupu

Te hā te tuku

Te mateāone


[Verse 2]

I know sometimes we might feel lost

But have you searched the lost and found?

If time was what it cost

Are we over spending ours?

Couldn't find the words to say

Does it hurt when you explain?

Is therе a shadow in your pain?

Maybe it hurts us all the same


[Chorus]

Did wе lose our connection?

Touch an affection?

Without intention?

Would you say every sentence?

Use every last breathe?

Find what we came for?


[Outro]

Some day we'll find where we belong

Tōku whenua turaikura
