Chorus:
Its knowing who you are and knowing your identiy
I love to read and write the books
Written in my mothers tongue
Fathers tongue yeah
I tukua iho mai ra I a ratou ma
I kite ai, i rongo ai, i o ratou ngakau e
I remember all those yesterdays
When my people walked, people talked around me
And in our courtyard spaces you could hear the people laughing singing crying
How I loved their special ways
