Tangaroa Whakamiharo

E marino ana te tai
To mauri kaatoretore
Tukuna tou haukura kia rere
Hei whakaora i te hunga
He waahi hakoakoa
Rere ana to wairua whakamahu, he waahi muna, he korowai paataka kai.

Moving Mountains

We cannot see but can believe
with a seed there is a tree
with love there is hope
we cannot see but can believe
its like moving mountains
we cannot see but can believe that the light and all its glory is still to come

E kore taea te kite ka taea te whakaponohia
He kaakano ka puta te raakau
He wai, ka puta te wairua ora
He aroha, ka puta te tumanako
E Kore taea te kite engari ka taea te whakaponohia
Ko te Aho Haeata
Akuanei ka hoki mai te Aho Haeata me tona kororia

Tumuwhakarae

Tae mai ki koneki me to moemoea mo te whenua mo tou ao hou.
Waihongia nga hara nga poharatanga o tou Ao hurihuri.
Nui nga tohu  nui nga hiahia tiro whakararo ki nga Tumuwhakarae o te whenua kia mahara no hea koe! no wai koe! 
Ahakoa kei konei koe e mohio ana matou e hara no konei koe! No reira tiro whakarunga kia matou nga Tumuwhakarae o te whenua.
Mai i te pepa e kii ae no konei koe, erangi e mohio ana ehara tenei i tou kainga tuturu no reira aroha ki te whenua, aroha ki te hunga nei, tiro whakarunga kia matou nga Tumu whakarae o te whenua.

Waitangi

The people the land sweat 
poured out hard working 
people 
intelligent as others try to 
decide the fate of a nation 
families full of history, broken 
history broken promises who 
only want their land to be kept 
untouched clean and green for 
their children and mokopuna to 
enjoy.  
Who are we where do we come 
from do we come from 
monkeys?No we don't.
Our ancestors were leaders the 
first one to sign the treaty was 
honeheke
check it out so we are leaders, 
leaders in our own right i 
respect those that have been 
and who are our leaders of the 
country you give you get.  
Jesus full of love, patience, 
peace my leader my love my all

Shine Bright

A shimmering glow
a pathway to guide you on your way
Shine bright
A hope, a joy, an envious thought
A way from out of a tunnel
Shine bright
A white glow like an angel from up 
above 
you  were created
Shine bright for the world to see
Shine bright

Leaders

A leader says go with me
A leader says no fighting
A leader says help as many people as 
Possible
A leader says what about everyone 
else

Mr Liar

Mr liar
In the past and even the future it flows from your mouth freely giving continuously hurting the inner being of another.

From one to another it flows like the wind hitting the rooftops flowing through lands through people one to another hurting the inner soul of another.

A beast looking for prey someone to take control of without love without care hurting the inner spirit of another.

The ruffian that plays with emotions hurting the inner soul of another.

Best Friends With Angels

Your best friends with angels now
Do you spread your wings and fly do you watch me, do you know me, will you remember me
I bet they love you up there like we loved you down here
Why sometimes I say without a thought of what the angels would  say
Do you laugh I bet you sing and dance with the angels
It has been a while your far away far away  from me yet a picture of you is right next to me
Things are different now  without you to have passed through grief and a way out of the cloud of doom one day I know  I will be thea too
