lyrics

(Verse 1)

Nia, sets my soul on fire
Justice enforce punishment
To young a cry her only defence
Nia, sets my soul on fire
Justice enforce punishment
To little seen unknown, known too late

(Bridge)

I see red, I see red, I see red, I see red
Oh do all a favour, throw out the key

(Chorus)

On eagles wings, lay your body to sleep
On eagles wings, may you sleep, may you sleep

(Verse 2)

Nia, te taonga, tangihia
Tiaho mai te pono
Hoki atu raa ki o Matua Tiipuna
Nia, te taonga, tangihia
Tiaho mai te pono
Hoki atu raa ki a Io Matua

(Bridge)

(Chorus) x2

(Bridge)

She’s gone to that place
That big wide open space
Never again will she grace us
With her beautiful face
Go to them, go to them, go to them
Go to them, go to them, go to them
Instrumental

(Chorus)
