– E mohio ana koe ki toku ingoa
If I saw you in Heaven?
– Ki te kite ahau i a koe i te Rangi?
Would it be the same
– He rite tonu
If I saw you in Heaven?
– Ki te kite ahau i a koe i te Rangi?
I must be strong
– Me kaha ahau
And carry on
– Ka haere tonu
‘Cause I know I don’t belong
– ‘No te mea e mohio ana ahau e kore ahau e no
Here in Heaven
– I konei i te Rangi
Would you hold my hand
– Ka mau koe ki toku ringa
If I saw you in Heaven?
– Ki te kite ahau i a koe i te Rangi?
Would you help me stand
– Ka awhina koe i ahau ki te tu
If I saw you in Heaven?

I’ll find my way

Through night and day

Here in Heaven
– I konei i te Rangi
Time can bring you down
– Ka taea e te wa te kawe i a koe ki raro
Time can bend your knees
– Ka taea e te wā te piko i ō turi
Time can break your heart
– Ka taea e te wā te whati i tō ngākau
Have you begging please
– Kia inoi koe tena koa
Begging please

Beyond the door
– I tua atu i te pātū
There’s peace, I’m sure
