Stan Walker Matemateaone
[Verse 1]
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 mamae
Kia manawatahi ai
[Chorus]
Kua motu te here?
Te whakawhere?
Te matihere?
Kia pau rā ngā kupu
Te hā te tuku
Te mateāone
[Verse 2]
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 therе a shadow in your pain?
Maybe it hurts us all the same
[Chorus]
Did wе lose our connection?
Touch an affection?
Without intention?
Would you say every sentence?
Use every last breathe?
Find what we came for?
[Outro]
Some day we'll find where we belong
Tōku whenua turaikura
