about

This song is dedicated to all the matakite (spirit seers) amongst us who often need more understanding, support, space. inspired by a brother with these gifts who was thrown into the mental health system and came through and now supports other people with these gifts

lyrics

Ka rere taku wairua I te awa o te ora e,

My spirit flows through the healing river

huri noa I te toka o te whatu manawa e

swirling around the heart stone

e tu ana ki te tihi o te maunga rangatira e,

standing at the peak of the chiefly mountain

a man, a god, a man

he tangata, he atua, he tangata e

and we flow on, while we stand strong, treasures of a gods child, and we know that this gift that we hold, we hold with pride

Hapaitia e tatou i te taonga kua tuku iho e

let us uplift the treasure that have been handed down

he taonga mo tatou katoa, he matakite

a treasure for us all, the see'ers

he tauira mo tatou katoa, tena koe e te tuakana

an example for us all, we acknowledge you big brother

and we flow on, while we stand strong, treasures of a gods child, and we know that this gift that we hold, we hold with pride
