Stan Walker
I AM (From the Ava DuVernay feature film ’Origin’)
[Verse 1]
We are the cure
Felt in the spring
You are the wind
Breathe into me
You inherit me
I and inherit you
I am the language
You speak to me

[Pre-Chorus]
As far as the eye can see, (as far as the eye can see)
Everything has changed, (uh)
Tell me how can we stand by
I don't wanna be the same

[Chorus]
He toiora ahau nōu
Te toi nō Kurawaka
Taku rongomaiwhiti e

Tākiri ko te haeata
Anga atu ki te rā
Whiti, whiti ki te ora e

[Verse 2]
We are thе waters
The rivers and strеams
Flow through the armour
Of a dying breed
I am with you, and you are with me
Baptised in fire
We're lions in the ring
[Pre-Chorus]
As far as the eye can see, (as far as the eye can see)
Everything has changed, (uh)
Tell me how can we stand by
I don't wanna be the same

[Chorus]
He toiora ahau nōu
Te toi nō Kurawaka
Taku rongomaiwhiti e

Tākiri ko te haeata
Anga atu ki te rā
Whiti, whiti ki te ora e

[Outro]
Hou mai rā
Tō rongo e
Hou mai rā
Tō karere
Mau tonu e

Hou mai rā
Tō rongo e
Hou mai rā
Tō karere
Mau tonu e
Hou mai rā
Tō rongo e
Hou mai rā
Tō karere
Mau tonu e

Tūturu whakamaua kia tina TINA
Haumi e
Hui e
Tāiki e
