Kāore he tangata e totoro tōna ringa ki te tino o te hanganga

Ki te kore ia e whiwhi i te hari i roto i a ia

Nā reira i totoro atu ai taku ringa ki a ia

Ā, nā reira ahau i noho ai i waenga i te hunga hari

He tatau ia ki te Atua, i kake, i kake ki runga

I roto i te hōnore, ā, i tū motuhake i roto i ngā māramatanga katoa

Ā, ko te katoa i hono mā tana karanga

Ki te Atua, ā, i whiwhi i te tautoko māna

Inā hoki, i roto i te uaua me te ngāwari

Ka rapu ahau i te whakamarumaru i tōna ārai mō ake tonu atu

Ka kī atu ahau, Āwhina mai i ahau, e taku tino taonga

Ā, homai ki ahau te tomairangi i ōu ringaringa

Ā, kia aroha mai ki a mātou, e taku tūmanako

Mā te whakaora i te ngākau i ngā mate katoa

Ka pēhea e wehi ai te tangata e aroha ana ki a koe

Ā, i roto i tōu tūranga, kāore ahau e wehi i te tangata kotahi

Kāore ahau e whai i tētahi atu i a koe ki te tūkinotia

E tōku wā, ā, ki te kore he hunga āwhina mōku

Mā tōu oranga, tirohia mai mā te atawhai

E te tino pai rawa o te hunga i piko atu

Ko koe te mea i whiriwhiria mai i te pūtake o te wā

E te kaiwawaō tino pai i waenga i ngā iwi

Ā, mā tōu mārama i muri i te korenga

I tiaho ai, i puta ai te kanohi o te orokohanga

Ā, ko te inoi a te Atua, kāore he mutunga

E koha ana ki a koe, e te tangata o te tūranga teitei

Me te whānau me ngā hoa haere whakahirahira

I te wā e waiata ana te kaiārahi kamera, ka pāoro te reo
