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
