New Zealanders are imagining who they are
New Zealanders are imagining who they are now
New Zealanders are imagining who they are now and the land
New Zealanders are imagining who they are now and the land they are imagining
the land they are imagining, now, the land,
New Zealanders are imagining, now the land they are imagining is not the land
that they come from and
New Zealanders are imagining who they are and
New Zealanders are imagining long ships and ships with white sails and they are
imagining ships with outriggers
New Zealanders are imagining liners and aeroplanes, they are imagining dreaming
they are imagining dreaming of a new land
they are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new land and
they are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new land
New Zealanders are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new land of plenty
New Zealanders are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new land of milk and
honey and they are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new land of hope and plenty
New Zealanders are imagining dreaming of arriving at a new home,
they are imagining a new society and
they are imagining a new civilisation and
they are imagining a new world,
the land, they are imagining now, the land
And New Zealanders are imagining travelling
And they are imagining sailing and flying and they are dreaming of arriving
New Zealanders are dreaming who they are
And they are dreaming of travelling for a long time
And they are travelling
And they are travelling
to the land they are imagining, they are travelling now to the land they are
imagining
And they are travelling to a new society and they are dreaming of arriving at a
society of plenty
And they are dreaming for a long time, they are dreaming for a long long time
How they dream of living, how they
Dream of living
And they dream of living how they dream of living
New Zealanders are dreaming who they are
And they dream of making a new home here and they imagine living here
How they dream of living and the life they dream of now, the life they dream of
living
And they dream of living now
How they dream of living here
New Zealanders dream of living here, now the life they dream of living does not come
from here, now the life they dream of living does not come from here,
a good life, here,
New Zealanders are dreaming, now, the life
And they are living, sleeping and working
And they are sleeping and working, now the life they are living is not the life
that they come from
New Zealanders are not living the life that they come from
And they’re not dreaming the life that they come from
And they’re travelling
And they’re imagining who they are,
They’re not really sleeping, they’re not really working,
They’re dreaming
They’re dreaming about how they came here from Hawaiki
They’re dreaming about how they came here from Mother England
