Have we lost our way, my friends? Ehara au i te kaiwhakaora, tino kore nei I am not your saviour Kia noho au hei whakaāio whenua, tino kore nei Nor am I the pacificator E noho matakerekere ana I ahatia ō tātou moemoeā? We are caught in a daze What’s happened to our dreams? Whitikina te ara tika (ara, ara, ara) May the sun shine upon the right path Kaiwhakaora The saviour Whitikina te ara tika May the sun shine upon the right path
