Lyrics & Music - Opetaia Foa'i
Alatahi tenei te olaga
alatahi te gali o tenei
Puke ke mau
au moemitiga
na he tukua
he tukua lele ke to
e opoi ai manakoga
na mea e fakamoemoe ki ei
alatahi ki te malo
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
Taofi mau ki au
moemitiga
tuha pe hea te ikuga
taofi au puipuiga
tena te tau
malo pe heai e vena
ona ola ki tatou
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
Break
Alatahi te gali o tenei
Taofi mau ki au
moemitiga
tuha pe hea te ikuga
taofi au puipuiga
tena te tau
malo pe heai e vena
ona ola ki tatou
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
Heai he havali manumalo
i te tahi itu
na ko te loto tiga
ma fenua oge

tiaki ai mea uma
mea uma e alofa ai koe ki ei
Alatahi tenei te olaga
alatahi te gali o tenei
Alatahi tenei te olaga
alatahi te gali o tenei
He tukua fai ke mau
moemitiga
pe hea fai ke mau
puipuiga
te vevela malohi o te la
tiaki ai mea uma
mea uma e alofa ai koe ki ei
MOEMITIGA [ Dreams ]
one road for life
one road for good
Seize and Hold on tight
to your dreams
never let them go
they connect to all
that we wish
all that we hope for
the one road we can win
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
Hold on tight
to your dreams
no matter the consequences
hold your defences
this is the prize
win or lose
this is how we survive
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
BREAK
one road for good
Hold on tight
to your dreams
no matter the consequences
hold your defences
this is the prize
win or lose
this is how we survive
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
There's no victory march
down the other end
just despair and
barren land
where the sun burns hard
and you surrender
all that you love
one road for life
one road for good
one road for life
one road for good
Hold tight
to your dreams
no matter what
hold on
defend it
where the sun burns hard
and you surrender
all that you love
