Matemateāone

He wā ka mokemoke

Tahuri rā ki te rapa

Me ko wā noa te utu

Takahia tō ara.

 

He kupu tē kitea mai

kia mārama ai

te ata kei tō (mamaaee)

kia manawatahi ai

 

Kua motu te here?

Te whakawhere?

Te matihere?

Kia pau rā ngā kupu

te hā te tuku

te mateāone

 

I know sometimes we might feel lost

But have you searched the lost and found

If time was what it cost

Are we over spending ours

Couldn’t find the words to say

Does it hurt when you explain

Is there a shadow in your pain

Maybe ithurts us all the same

Did we lose our connection

Touch an affection

Without intention

Would you say every sentence

Use every last breathe

Find what we came for

Some day we’ll find where we belong
