Home

Ko Ruapehu Te Maunga
Ko Whanganui Te Awa
Ko Whanganui te Iwi
Ko Whanganui te Kainga

Take me back home to the place I belong
Where the river runs through the city
Where my people lay rest and the mountains reside
This is where I belong

We are the people of the land
The guardians of the Whenua
To Uphold Tikanga
Which has been gifted by our Tipuna
This is the land our people once stood
Where they nurtured, and cared for
They took up arms to fight for the land
Where we stand once more

Take me back home to the place I belong
Where the river runs through the city
Where my people lay rest
And the mountains reside
This is where I belong

E rere kau mai te awa nui
Mai i te kahui Maunga ki Tangaroa
Ko au te Awa Ko te Awa ko au

Take me back home to the place I belong
Where the river runs through the city
Where my people lay rest
And the mountains reside
This is where I belong
This is where I belong
