I keep it to myself
Don't want anyone to know
We are not allowed
To show
That we're happy where we are
As it's falling apart
not that we don't care
We do
Ka tū ahau
Ka ngū, ka tau
Ka tā anō te manawa
I just want to breathe again!
Nā wai i teka
Me pēnā ahau,
Kia kaua rawa rā e hapa,
Me pēhea rā?
Pūrea ā roto
kia rere te hā,
Kia tīhei te mauri ora
I just want to breathe again

I can't see past the fog
Even though I know it all
It's hard to see the beauty
Of Hinepūkohurangi
When I can't see you
I don't know why you think I'm dumb
I'm really trying to understand
I just don't why you don't get it sometimes
you can promise me that it's not true
I need help to change my view
It plays my mind
E te tau o taku ate
Taku matangerengere
Tākiritia te rangi haeata
Ka pūrangiaho, ka mārama
He waka kōrero, he waka wānanga
tāua kia tāua, e te tau.
Ngā pōkaikaha, ngā tautohetohe
Ngā ara rau o Tangaroa e tū rehurehu nei.
Kāti, kia mau te rongo, kia tau te āio.
Ko tō manawa ki taku manawa he aroha mau roa.
E te tau o taku ate
Taku matangerengere
When i cant see past the fog
Cause i don't know it all
i'll try to see the beauty
Of Hinepūkohurangi
When I see you
E te tau o taku ate
