Wheke

Unworthy

Sometimes it’s hard to change

Signs

Put up in my brain

Telling me I can’t do this

Telling me I can’t do that

Run away run away run away

Until I can’t go back

(Until, I, can’t, go, back)

Whispers, 

quiet but loud enough

Tricks

Enough to stop my heart

I stop doing this

I stop doing that

Run away run away run away

Now I can’t go back

This time or next time

I just hope I get sometime

To go back, lean forward

It hurts my head but it’s good for my heart

To go back, lean forward

It won’t be easy but the 8th time is the charm

Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa

Manawanui i ngā taumahatanga

Kaua e mate wheke mate ururoa

Te whakapono tūmanako me te aroha

Octopus - a translation

Don’t die like an octopus go out like a shark

Persevere through the hards times

Don’t die like an octopus go out like a shark

With faith hope and love
