lyrics

AROĀ


Kōngū te tahatū
Pūrehurehu
Ki hea anga ai


Wetea, te whakatau
He haerenga hāngai
Nā ka huri kē


Tē tiro iho rā
Ka rongo whenua
Me he papa mahea
Tau mai aroā



Tō iho te rā
I ōna hua
Ka maru te aotea
Tē kite, auare ake
Hāuaua
Ka anga tonu ai


Tē tiro iho rā
Ka rongo whenua // Te ahunga mai
Me he papa mahea // Te ara ki tua
Tau mai aroā


Te ahunga mai
Te ara ki tua

Translation:
Can’t see the horizon

Covered in a white haze

Where’s our direction?



Breaking down, our decisions

We were going one way

and now it’s hectic



I don’t need to look down

I can still feel the ground

Where we come from

It’s a blank canvas now

Where we’re going

In the end, we’ll know how...



… long will the sun hide

Holding all the right ways

Beneath the daylight



Can’t see now but it’s alright

I can feel a warm ray

Enough to get by



CH



Where we come from

Where we’re going
