Description:
This song, composed by Deborah Wai Kapohe and arranged by Glenda Keam as part of the 21x21 Beneath the Trees collection, is a setting of a poem associated in its original form with Ngāti Maniapoto/Ngāti Rereahu of the King Country/Maniapoto region. The poem is now used widely in shorter forms such as this one, which can be found on the Playcentre website as a karakia tīmatanga (opening incantation).

Kia hora te marino
Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana
Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei
Aroha atu
Aroha mai
Tātou i ā tātou katoa
Hui ē! Tāiki ē!

May peace be widespread
may the sea be smooth as greenstone
A pathway for us all this day
Love given,
love given back
To everyone, for everyone
May we be bound together!
