lyrics

Take me back to the Hillaview
Having so much fun only need a few
The dogs would go crazy
Jump in if they sensed we were
At risk, never were we missed
Splash and play all day
Safe within our tubes
Protected by Kiwa above lay our Tipuna
Omaio, Omaio

(Chorus)

Character building, Omaio
Traditional living my, Omaio
Uu no electricity, Omaio
Beautiful, beautiful Omaio
Nei tooku aroha, Omaio
Ki a koe tooku Piringa, Omaio
Te Kawa te Tikanga, Omaio
Mau tonu mau tonu Omaio

(Verse 1)

It’s the simple things I love
Its in you in the sky above
It’s the simple things I love
Its in you in the way that you laugh
Falling star
Open sea
Peacefulness
You are to me
Coastal air
Its in you, its in me
Omaio you call to me

(Bridge)

Don’t try to complicate me
I’m still that old simple girl
Living in my own simple world yeah
You gotta love it, Omaio
You gotta feel it, Omaio
You gotta live it, Omaio
Come with me take my hand and
Lets run free
Omaio you call to me

(Chorus)

(Outro)

It’s the simple things I love
Its in you in the sky above
Falling star
Open sea
Peacefulness
You are to me
Coastal air
Its in you, its in me
Omaio you call to me
