That day, I walk by the river Remembering the days of young My mum, the food she delivered Our bellies were so full and fun We heard a plane in the air flying up above The enemy from overseas (the seas) I grabbed my family by the hands and we ran away We're running from the enemy No roots, no roots, no culture We're running from the enemy No roots, no roots, no culture I'm hiding with my family Inside a room we would hide and the sun was gone So quiet as we hid through the night I heard a man through the window on the telephone They're searching for my family and I I take a chance with the gun holding in my hand Behind it we would seek through the night I pulled the trigger to his head, now his life is gone My family we are free for the night Say, no roots, no roots, no culture We're hiding in the thick of the night, yeah No roots, no roots, no culture My family will fight for our lives, ohh There's no price they can put on our name My heart's fighting in the game They tried to take my family apart It's a war that you don't want to start And now the tables have turned on the enemy Almighty God has answered my cries Sometimes a friend is also a frenemy They're smiling with them lying eyes Just like in life, there's a war everywhere around But you can be the shining light They took their bombs, their guns, the enemy They're running in the dead of the night Our roots, our roots, our culture No one can take that feeling from me, yeah Our roots, our roots, our culture The power of the Totara trees, yeah Our roots, our roots, our culture No one can take that feeling from me, no Our roots, our roots, our culture The power of the Totara tree
@@mrdiaz2367 dunno if yous can understand him but he says it in the Lyrics. It tells the story of a Māori man protecting his family when NZ got colonized. At the start he says he was walking by the river, tummy full, life is good basically. Then he hears a plane in the sky, the invaders, now he's on the run with his family tryna protect them. In the next verse he says "I pulled the trigger to his head now his life is gone, my family we are free for the night" he's constantly moving and buying time for him and his family. In the 3rd and final verse, he says God has answered his cries, the tables have turned, the revolt has risen up, now the enemy is the one running in the dead of night (same way he was with his family at the start of the song) No roots 🔥

That day, I walk by the river
Remembering the days of young
My mum, the food she delivered
Our bellies were so full and fun
We heard a plane in the air flying up above
The enemy from overseas (the seas)
I grabbed my family by the hands and we ran away
We're running from the enemy
No roots, no roots, no culture
We're running from the enemy
No roots, no roots, no culture
I'm hiding with my family
Inside a room we would hide and the sun was gone
So quiet as we hid through the night
I heard a man through the window on the telephone
They're searching for my family and I
I take a chance with the gun holding in my hand
Behind it we would seek through the night
I pulled the trigger to his head, now his life is gone
My family we are free for the night
Say, no roots, no roots, no culture
We're hiding in the thick of the night, yeah
No roots, no roots, no culture
My family will fight for our lives, ohh
There's no price they can put on our name
My heart's fighting in the game
They tried to take my family apart
It's a war that you don't want to start
And now the tables have turned on the enemy
Almighty God has answered my cries
Sometimes a friend is also a frenemy
They're smiling with them lying eyes
Just like in life, there's a war everywhere around
But you can be the shining light
They took their bombs, their guns, the enemy
They're running in the dead of the night
Our roots, our roots, our culture
No one can take that feeling from me, yeah
Our roots, our roots, our culture
The power of the Totara trees, yeah
Our roots, our roots, our culture
No one can take that feeling from me, no
Our roots, our roots, our culture
The power of the Totara tree
💞
