Need room to feel the space always in my heart,
maybe even rent a room just to start again.
So I lifted the bars of my vision
shifted my world once or twice.
Took time out for an intermission,
wise
Breathing it comes easy but you'll miss it once it's gone
Catching myself so briefly, want to live on and on and on.
So lift up the bars of your vision
shift your world once or twice take time out for an intermission
think twice
Be happy with what you have, in life her and his
when you discover nothing's missing, and the world just is.
Then I lifted the bars of my vision
shifted my world once or twice,
took time out for an intermission,
wise
wise.

Manaaki ( Taranaki 2004)
“Slipping on memory to see moko and son. Just a weekend, it won’t take long. Walked upon the mountain, tried within to see. But the mist rose up, you hid your face and your past rolled onto me.
Just -a getting glimpses of how this could be
Just -a getting weary of all this climbing.
I'm getting in my own way.
Is all this gear mine.
Then the peak rose up before us,
My future dotted on your line.
Aotearoa Aotearoa
Aotearoa Aotearoa
Come on home my dear
.
When one and one, it could make two. When you and I, only make you. Papatuanuku, Take your feet off here. It’s holy ground, Aotearoa. Come on home, my dear.”
Aotearoa Aotearoa
Aotearoa Aotearoa
Come on home my dear
Kinda integrating, Tawaahi ke noa.
Kinda insulating, welcome to my shore.
Tomo mai nau mai,
Leave your baggage here with me
May the road rise up to greet you.
Ma te Atua e manaaki.
Ma te Atua, ma te Atau
Ma te Atua, ma te Atua, e manaaki
Aotearoa Aotearoa
Aotearoa Aotearoa e manaaki
