Traffic Lights
I look across the sea at
Te Tai o Rēhua
I see my people struggling
With this Tino ngāngarā
Our hopes and dreams are withering
Under te kawanatanga
Alone, we can be broken
But together we ain't taking it
Anymore... no! no I won't
More than a hundred years you deliberate
And takahia te mana o te tangata
Deplete our right and sovereignty
On to mātou whenua
Erase the truth and history
Ō te ara ō ngā kaihanga
Alone, we can be broken
But together we ain't taking it
Anymore... no! no I won't
You take my freedom to stand
Freedom to teach
Freedom walk
Freedom to reach
All my people... my people
You take my freedom share
Freedom to speak
Freedom to care
Freedom to beseech
All my people... my people
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
You take my freedom to stand
Freedom to teach
Freedom walk
Freedom to reach
All my people... my people
You take my freedom share
Freedom to speak
Freedom to care
Freedom to beseech
All my people... my people
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
Te Tai o Rēhua
I see my people struggling
With this Tino ngāngarā
Our hopes and dreams are withering
Under te kawanatanga
Alone, we can be broken
But together we ain't taking it

And takahia te mana o te tangata

You take my freedom to stand
Freedom to teach
Freedom walk

All my people... my people
You take my freedom share
Freedom to speak
Freedom to care
Freedom to beseech
All my people... my people
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
You take my freedom to stand
Freedom to teach
Freedom walk
Freedom to reach
All my people... my people
You take my freedom share
Freedom to speak
Freedom to care
Freedom to beseech
All my people... my people
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
Red Light, Green Light, Amber Light No More!
