Te Vaka - Manatu

These clothes feel so strange on me
Stranger still are these shoes
Taken to another world
I'm now crying for my home

Tell me where my mother is
She forgot to explain things to me
Tell me where my father is
I thought I heard him leave this morning

2nd part
Heavy thoughts
what I need is an explanation
The purpose of this journey
Searching for answers in this small room
I can only think of my river
My friends are searching for me
But no matter how hard I try
There's no way for me to answer them
I'm homesick , I'm longing
For my family
I'm longing for my home
Here I sit all by myself
In this darkness
My head is filled with hurt
With sadness - this darkness
