Composed in Wellington, New Zealand.
Old Maori Proverb:
“I ia põ e moemoea
Ana tatou (moemoea),
Ahakoa kaore tãtou e manatu
Ana he aha te moemoea.”
Translation:
“In the deep darkness we dream
All that life has to teach us,
But then we forget and don’t remember
What it is that we dream.”
Wake up Wake up Wake up Stop Sleeping
Wake up Wake up Wake up Start Living!
Weather is changing today,
Father of the sky can you tell me why
My soul is dry
And yet there’s water everywhere?
I’m feeling the rain,
Can you shift the clouds of my mind
And open up the light
To the beautiful colours of heaven
Before I leave this place?
‘Cause I know one day,
Like the dove I will fly away,
Will I remember to return?
Where is my home?
My Resting Place?
I feel anger and pain,
All the lonely hearts who are
Cutting down the dreams
For the money getting NOWHERE
And still I believe,
There is a way to be free and to see
All the beautiful colours of heaven
Before we leave this place!
Maori Prayer & Invocation
“AIO
Wairua
Kãnui Te Aroha
Mõ Koutou

Translation:

Bringer of Love
Forever You are
Good, You are the Blessing of Peace.”
