The Children of 'Ata

Fonu oku mafu he mamahi 'oka malu efiafi Kuo hapax koe 'e 'oseni Foki maiki “api hoku ngaahi foha Still vastness in the horizon Fifteen long months under mocking sun Land threw us there, away from world Plays to us music yet unheard We were there We were there Still vastness in our heartbeat Solitude and woe tear us apart? They say that man is the foulest beast Roaming the hills of self-deceit But we came back We came back We are the ones to tell you why The world of us, it will survive Light a fire for the boat afar Campsite Gaia We all are The children of 'Ata This guitar we built still chimes with hope Never gave our souls to the carrion crows Every new day we saw the sun rise Every new day we beat the lord of flies We were there We're still here We are the ones to tell you why The world of us, it will survive Light a fire for the boat afar Campsite Gaia We all are The children of 'Ata Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui 'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe We are the ones to tell you why We are the ones Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui 'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe We're all here On an island of black seas Red in tooth Red in claw Red in love, the passionate young We're still here On an island of soon free Learning to live Yearning to give The stranded a ride back home We are the ones to tell you why The world of us, it will survive Light a fire for the boat afar Campsite Gaia Remember The children of 'Ata
