We think we're changing things but it's too late
A dying creature we continue to suffocate
Producing toxic plastic at an unfathomable rate
This pollution we make, we cannot un-create!
Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou!
Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa!
Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha
Ō Nga tangata kūware
Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue!
Swimming in a sea of death
Extinction is what's coming next
Undermining our own fate
We're trying but we're far too late
Look around you'll get an eyeful
Stuck inside a vicious cycle
Oceans are becoming lifeless
You think you care, but you're self righteous!
Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou!
Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa!
Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha
Ō Nga tangata kūware
Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue!
Ka pirau nga wairoro katoa
Nga wairoro katoa!
Pirau!
Nga wairoro katoa
Nga wairoro katoa
Pirau nga wairoro katoa
Nga wairoro katoa
Pirau nga wairoro katoa
He tohu aroākapa
Mo Tangaroa!
Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou!
Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa!
Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha
Ō Nga tangata kūware
Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue!
Aweawe, aue
