Listen to what I say
Come on everybody take a look aroundAt this beautiful country, its sweet little towns
This place is lent, it′s a treasure sent
So, take good care of our environment
For our children's children who will govern it
They will pay for any foolishness
Majestic trees, rich coastal breeze
The most beautiful places you have ever seen
No matter where you′re from we've got it going on
So rich, so proud, so strong
Murihiku o Aotearoa, my hometown
Come on everybody take a look around
At this beautiful country, its sweet little towns
This place is lent, it's a treasure sent
So, take good care of our environment
For our children′s children who will govern it
They will pay for any foolishness
Feel the Deep South glow or maybe take it slow
See our beautiful rivers or the valleys below
No matter where you′re from we've got it going on
So rich, so proud, so strong
Murihiku o Aotearoa, my hometown
Come on everybody take a look around
At this beautiful country, its sweet little towns
This place is lent, it′s a treasure sent
So, take good care of our environment
For our children's children who will govern it
They will pay for any foolishness
For those of us who are lucky enough
To see the century turn anew
If you give a dam, reach out your hand
We′ll be reaching out for you
Murihiku o Aotearoa, my hometown
Come on everybody take a look around
At this beautiful country, its sweet little towns
This place is lent, it's a treasure sent
So, take good care of our environment
For our children′s children who will govern it
They will pay for any foolishness
(They will pay for any foolishness)
So rich, so proud, so strong
