Herekore (NZ Maori, scroll down for English!)
V1
Ki te pai koe kia ngāwari, kia māmā ai tō huarahi
Kia taki ai te rā, me hou tō tikanga
Hei aha mā te tūpono noa
Hīkoi mai i tōku taha
He kore ā mua, he kore i muri,
ki te tautuhi i a koe - ki nāianei
Ch
Ko tēnei rā, kei ō tātou ringa, kei a au tōku tikanga
Tūpono kore, whakawā kore,
Māmā noa kia pēnei kē
Ch
Hei tāku koia te herekore,
Hei tāku koia te herekore x2
Koia kē
V2
Puritia ō puka hāhi, ō ture nā te tangata hoki
Māku kē ngā rangi e whai,
Hei whakaoho,
Hei whakatau mai
Nōku te hirahira, ka pā mai te ora, ka pā mai te mate
Huri rauna te aroha nui,
Me huri matau me huri mauī, ā
Ch
Ko tēnei rā, kei ō tātou ringa, kei a au tōku tikanga
Tūpono kore, whakawā kore,
Māmā noa kia pēnei kē
Hei tāku koia te herekore
Hei tāku koia te herekore x2
Kua herekore ō ture nā te tangata
He whatu whakawā kore ...
1. Freedom
V1
If you want an easy time, Looking for a better ride
A way to start the day, A new philosophy I say
Lose your hope in destiny
Come your next step with me
Nothing ahead, nothing behind,
Nothing to try to define you - now!
Ch
Is all it is, is all we have, is all I have to be
No destiny, no one watching me,
What an easy way to be!
Ch
Now that’s what I call freedom,
Now that’s what I call freedom x 2
Free to be..
V2
Keep all your religious books,
Your rules written by humans
I have got the skies to look,
For inspiration, for meditation
I am a miracle, I make life, I lose life
Too much love surrounds me,
The next step is right, then left you see NOW
Ch
Is all it is, is all we have, is all I have to be
No destiny, no one watching me,
what an easy way to be!
Now that’s what I call freedom,
Now that’s what I call freedom x 2
I’m free, your rules written by humans
No one watching over me..

2. Cosmic Drift
V1
Out in Space, on a cosmic drift
Searching for a new home, my planets sick
The black, the black, the oily black, has begun to drip
So all aboard, my rocket ship
Br
It’s cold out here, I’m all alone
Looking back at earth, she was our home
But the greed in us, Poisoned her soul
So 3,2,1 into space we go
Ch
On a cosmic drift, my planets Sick
Has begun to drip
V2
She was so beautiful
Aqua and green, copper and gold
She was so beautiful
With a purity you never could behold
Outro
On a cosmic drift, my planets sick
Has begun to drip
Out in space on a cosmic drift
Searching for a new home, my planets sick
My planets sick
Shes gone forever…

You got a long story my brother
You got a long story my sister

Are they real?
Or are you trying to pull one over me?
What kinds fool you think I am??

Your smile, is perfect
But your eyes speak to me
Your conflicted, your soul hurts
Sit and share with me, in love,
In trust in humility!
