We think we're changing things but it's too late A dying creature we continue to suffocate Producing toxic plastic at an unfathomable rate This pollution we make, we cannot un-create! Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou! Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa! Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha Ō nga tangata kūware Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue! Swimming in a sea of death Extinction is what's coming next Undermining our own fate We're trying but we're far too late Look around you'll get an eyeful Stuck inside a vicious cycle Oceans are becoming lifeless You think you care, but you're self righteous! Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou! Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa! Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha Ō nga tangata kūware Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue! Ka pirau nga wairoro katoa Nga wairoro katoa! Pirau! Nga wairoro katoa Nga wairoro katoa Pirau nga wairoro katoa Nga wairoro katoa Pirau nga wairoro katoa He tohu aroākapa Mo Tangaroa! Ka humuhumu Tangaroa tātou! Ka humuhumu nga tamariki ō Tangaroa! Ka whakapirau kei roto I nga puku maha Ō nga tangata kūware Kore mōhio te whakaaweawe aue! Aweawe, aue!
