Oh my love, run with me
Hand in hand we’ll go to an ancient land
where te tui serenade the sun
We used to run between the pine trees
And oh this moon, she saw me bloom
exhale trouble of the world I knew
At least I have here to be
and at last I can clearly breathe
Yeah
Now it’s our turn to bathe in the sunset
and you can use my heart as a head rest
What a beautiful place, what a beautiful face
and we can laugh at the shapes our bodies make
These are constellations I can trace
Oh I’m awake
I have grown this love from a seed
now it’s a forest that meets the sea
I have spent my life at the beach
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Tipi smoke burning low
rise with the sunlight, breathe like the tide
We’re alive. Oh I’m alive
Sacred land, I call her home
One day I hope to stand here an old man
with a big, white beard
and grandchildren free of fear
Oh and it’s safe to say that I miss her
The banks just compounded the pressure
How can she be owned? How can land be owned?
But the fire still warms our cold feet
Drums echo the same great heartbeat
Oh I believe
I have grown this love from a seed
now it’s a forest that meets the sea
I have spent my life at the beach
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie, hey
I have grown this love from a seed
now it’s a forest that meets the sea
I have spent my life on this beach
Ohui, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Opoutere, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Opoutere, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Opoutere, Ohui ie, ie, ie
Opoutere, Ohui
I just woke up from the strangest dream
I was you, and you were me
Infinite family
underneath these old trees

I saw my reflection at the water’s edge
next to a little white moon
Now I’m kicking dust up inside my head
In a little white room
I’ll sit down and try to write a song
but there’s just so much going on
So I’ll drop down to my knees
Slow down, breathe
Let me be here
Oh and I’m so overdue
There’s so much shit that I’ve accrued
I think mama earth showed me what to do
cause when you’re here you know she got you
Oh she got you, oh she got you
Oh I’ll drop to my knees
Slow down, breathe
Let me be here
Slow down, breathe, let me be
Slow down, breathe, let me be
Slow down, breathe, let me be free

He was water
Fell in love with the ocean
He wanted to feel the oxygen burning in his lungs
and I don’t know what I’ll become
but I know I’m the love
She was fire
Burned him up with emotion, oh did she
He needed the earth just to feel it
underneath his own two feet
He wanna breathe
He sang
I am the love
that the world don’t shine enough of
and you know
I am the poison
that’s cursing in my blood
and it ain’t no crying shame
that the world it knows my name
Like a river running free
or a songbird dressed in flame
I’m on fire
Burn me up with devotion won’t you please
and I’ll never blame the jester for all the dirty tricks she pulled on me
From one soul to another soul
I gotta go and she gotta know
it’s only industry
She sings
I am the love
that the world don’t shine enough of
and she says
I am the poison that’s cursing in my blood
and it ain’t no crying shame
that the world it knows my name
Like a river running free
or a songbird dressed in flame
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
I am the love, I’m the love, I’m the love
Oh I know that I am the love
that this world has so much more than enough of
We’re made of the stuff
And it ain’t no crying shame
that this earth one day will know our names
Like a river running free
or a songbird dressed in flame
Like the river running so free
or a songbird dressed in flame
I am the river running free
and I am the love that will bloom again
