We had to search up a New Zealand artist and choose one of there songs. We had to explain what the song is about and how it relates to New Zealand.
The song I chose is: Aotearoa - Stan Walker
\No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
I am the mountain, you are the sea flowing toward me
You are the river that runs through me, I am her, she is me
Created from dust and sand, born to lead this land
Where we come from we were made to be strong
Our legacy will carry on
And if a piece of home
Resonates in your soul
Your journey will take you
Where you belong
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
The heritage of this land is deep, we are it's legacy
I am her warrior, I fight for thee, we have the victory
Born from blood and tears, I am stronger than fear, yeah...
We strive to move to our destiny
We practice more than what we preach
And if a piece of home resonates in your soul
Your journey will take you where you belong
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
E Ihowa atua
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarongona
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai
Kia tau tō atawhai
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa!
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
No matter if you're near or far
We come from the land of God
No matter where you belong
We'll fight for your freedom
This song is about being proud to live in New Zealand and what it means to be a New Zealander/kiwi. Stan Walker also said this song is about peace, whatever language and whatever part of New Zealand/the world you were born you are at home in New Zealand/Aotearoa.
