We’re singing to the trees,
To the birds and the bees,
The rivers and the mountains,
To the plains and the seas,
To the wild west wind,
To the gentlest breeze,



Of papatuanuku  papatuanuku …



One heart one home,
Not apart not alone,
Our soul’s on loan,

To papatuanuku  papatuanuku …



God bless the mother,
For ever and ever,
God bless Gaia,
For ever and ever and ever…



Papatuanuku  papatuanuku …



We’re on our way,
No no no delay,
Going back to the future,
To a bright new day;



Well here we are,
And here we stay,
With papatuanuku  papatuanuku …



One heart one home,
Not apart not alone,
Our soul’s on loan,



To papatuanuku  papatuanuku …

​

God bless the mother,
For ever and ever,
God bless Gaia,
For ever and ever,
And ever and ever and ever and ever…
