Woah
– Ko te Woah
Oh
– Aue
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
Ooh
– Ko te Ooh
I pray that I don’t give up, pray that I do my best
– E inoi ana ahau kia kaua ahau e whakarere, kia inoi kia pai taku mahi
Pray that I can lift up, pray my brother is blessed
– Inoi kia ara ake ahau, inoi kia manaakitia toku teina
Praying for enough, pray Virgilio wins
– Inoi mo te nui, inoi Ka wikitoria a Virgilio
Pray I judge nobody and forgive me my sins
– Inoi e kore ahau e whakawa i tetahi e murua hoki aku hara
I pray we make it, pray my friend will pull through
– Ka inoi ahau kia mahia e mātou, ka inoi taku hoa kia haere mai
Pray as I take it unto others, I do
– Inoi kia rite ki te tango ahau i te reira ki ētahi atu, e ahau
Praying on your love, we pray with every breath
– Inoi i runga i tou aroha, inoi tatou ki nga manawa
Though I’m in the valley of the shadow of death
– Ahakoa kei roto ahau i te raorao o te atarangi o te mate
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
For someone to come and show me the way
– Kia haere mai tētahi ki te whakaatu i te ara ki ahau
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
For some shelter and some records to play
– Mō ētahi whare noho me ētahi pūkete hei whakatangi
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
We’ll be singing “Baraye”
– Ka waiata mātou ” Baraye”
Pray that we make it to the end of the day
– Inoi kia tae tatou ki te mutunga o te ra
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
I know somewhere that Heaven is waitin’
– E mōhio ana ahau kei te tatari te Rangi
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
I know somewhere there’s something amazin’
– E mōhio ana ahau ki tētahi wāhi he mea mīharo
And so we pray
– Na ka inoi matou
I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain
– E mohio ana ahau ki tētahi wāhi e kore ai mātou e mamae
Until we make it to the end of the day
– Tae noa ki te mutunga o te ra
I pray that love will shelter us from our fears
– E inoi ana ahau kia tiakina tatou e te aroha i o tatou mataku
Oh, I pray you trust to let me wipe off your tears
– Aue, e inoi ana ahau kia whakawhirinaki koe ki te tuku i ahau ki te horoi i your roimata
Confront all the pain that we felt inside
– Ka aro atu ki te mamae katoa i fel ai mātou i roto
With all the cards we been dealt in life
– Ki nga kaari katoa i tohaina e matou i roto i te ora
Pray I speak my truth and keep my sisters alive
– Inoi korero ahau toku pono me te pupuri i toku tuahine ora
So for the ones who parted seas (Ah, yeah)
– Na mo te hunga e wehe ana i nga moana (Ah, yeah)
For the ones who’s followin’ dreams (Ah, yeah)
– Mo te hunga e whai ana i nga moemoea (Ah, yeah)
For the ones who knocked down doors (Ah, yeah)
– Mo te hunga i patu i nga tatau (Ah, yeah)
And allowed us to pass down keys (Ah, yeah)
– A tukua matou ki te haere ki raro mau taviri (Ah, ae)
Pray that we speak with a tongue that is honest
– Inoi kia korero tatou ki te arero e pono ana
And that we understand how to be modest
– A e matau ana tatou ki te kia whakaiti
Pray when she looks at herself in the mirror
– Inoi ina titiro ia ki a ia ano i roto i te whakaata

‘Cause inside my head is a frightening place
– He wāhi whakamataku te take i roto i toku mahunga
Keep a smiling face, only by His grace
