Harakeke

In the morning, frost upon the glass

And you're yawning, mist into the dark

What's the feeling before thinking?

Down the hallway to the kitchen

Kettle boiling while you're stretching

What's the feeling before speaking?

This feeling holds a broken heart

That's grieving, rising through my lungs

It's a hum

Filling me up with the sun

In my dream you call me on the phone

Just to say you are not alone

Now, let go

You don't always have to see

In my dream you are by my side

And I see Tō moko kauae

Rangatira me te wahine toa

This feeling holds a broken heart

That's grieving, rising through my lungs

It's a hum

Filling me up with the sun

Wide open, connected and unbroken

Spoken, feel it on my tongue

It's a hum

Kōrero i tāku reo

In my dream you are by my side

And I see Tō moko kauae

Rangatira me te wahine toa

This feeling holds a broken heart

That's grieving, rising through my lungs

It's a hum

Filling me up with the sun

Wide open, connected and unbroken

Spoken, feel it on my tongue

It's a hum

Kōrero i tāku reo
