lyrics

I live on an Island. Close to the sea, waiting

I live on a Mountain. As far as I see, I’m waiting

Sometimes the earth moves

This delicate land could sink under the sea

Away underneath me, away underneath me


We live on an Island.

Made from the same dust we walk over

We live on this Mountain.

Forget ourselves, think we are greater

Sometimes the earth moves

This delicate land could sink under the sea

Away underneath me, away underneath me


E noho ana au ki te Mautere

E noho ana au ki te Maunga

We live on an Island

We live on a Mountain
