Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Take my mind and take my pain
– Tangohia taku hinengaro me te tango i taku mamae
Like an empty bottle takes the rain
– Ka rite ki te pounamu kau ka mau ki te ua
And heal, heal, heal, heal, heal
– Me te whakaora, te whakaora, te whakaora, te whakaora, te whakaora
And take my past and take my sins
– Tangohia aku mea o mua tangohia aku hara
Like an empty sail takes the wind
– Ka rite ki te parirau kau ka mau te hau
And heal, heal, heal, heal
– Me te whakaora, te whakaora, te whakaora, te whakaora
And tell me some things last
– A korerotia mai ki ahau etahi mea whakamutunga
And tell me some things, some things last
– A korerotia mai ki ahau etahi mea, etahi mea whakamutunga
Tell me something, something please
– Korero mai ki ahau tetahi mea, tetahi mea tena
Because something heals
– Nā te mea ka ora tētahi mea
Heal, heal, heal, heal, heal
– Whakaora, whakaora, whakaora, whakaora, whakaora
Lord, you’re the only one that can do it for me
– E te ariki, ko koe anake te tangata e taea te mahi i te reira mo ahau
We need you, we need you to heal
– E hiahia ana matou ki a koe, e hiahia ana matou ki a koe ki te whakaora
Oh, you’re the only one, the only that can heal
– Aue, ko koe anake, ko te mea anake ka taea te whakaora
So please, heal from depression, Jesus, from suicidal thoughts please heal
– Na tēnā, whakaora i te korekore, Ihu, i whakaaro whakamomori tēnā whakaora
You’re the only one that can do it, from sickness, oh
– Ko koe anake te tangata e taea te mahi i te reira, i te mate, oh
Restoration right now
– Te whakahokinga mai i tēnei wā
