It’s mine, it’s mine (Kōrihi te manu)
I found my own prize (Tākiri mai te ata)
You can try you can try (Ka ao ka awatea)
To get in my way but you won’t stay (Tīhei mauri ora)
Protecting the truth
Found something good
You know it ‘cause you’ve got your conscience conscience right?
I know it too
Found something new
Made it a home for me
Over I flew
Found the best view
I know it ‘cause I’ve got my conscience conscience
All for my own
hold on to my home
don’t let it go for anyone else.
It’s mine, it’s mine
I found my own prize
You can try you can try
To get in my way but you won’t stay,
You won’t stay, you won’t stay
‘Cause I am stronger than you
Woke up to the news
That somebody knew
Where they could find what I found
They captured the view
And found the new tune
I heard them singing from the place I’d been
It’s yours it’s yours
You found your own voice
They will try they will try
To break you apart but hold on to what you’ve found
What you’ve found, what you’ve found
‘cause you are stronger than them
Tuī - a translation
The bird sings
The morning has dawned
The day has broken
Behold there is life
