Te Hokinga Mai (Whanau)

The cry of the morepork
keeps coming back to me.
It is hooting out there
where the paths meet.
I was the one
who allowed you to go.
It was curbed,
my deep love for you
But now the formal return home;
greetings to you,
How my heart weeps
with joy.
Still standing tall is the prestige
and the enchantment of the ancestors
who have passed on.
Bring back the true spirit of the people
to help heal the survivor
crying like a slave (i.e. with loneliness)
and searching for the true path
for us all
But now the formal return home;
greetings to you,
How my heart weeps
with joy.
Still standing tall is the prestige
and the enchantment of the ancestors
who have passed on.
Bring back the true spirit of the people
to help heal the survivor
crying like a slave (i.e. with loneliness)
and searching for the true path
for us all.
Te Hokinga Mai!
Te Hokinga Mai!
Stand tall!

The voices of your singers echo a vibrancy and passion I have not heard for a long time. There is a depth I have been trying to put my finger on. Perhaps its the integrity of the singer's that gives these songs life and they live again in the hearts and souls of others...thank you for sharing....are you on Maori radio? if so which one...thanks and blessings
