00:00Leaf falls to kiss the image of a mountain The early morning mist has ceased to play
00:21Birds dancing lightly on the branches by a fountain Of a waterfall which dazzles with its spring
00:31Tall and strong and aged, contented and serene A kauri tree surveys this grand domain
00:40And from miles and miles around him the sea rolling green Tomorrow all this beauty won't remain
00:50The damned pride defends him as he flew into, as he flew into the sky
00:58To give power to the people all this beauty has to die
01:07Rainfall from above and splashes on the ground Goes running down a mountain to the sea
01:16And leaping over pebbles makes such a joyful sound Such is Mother Nature's gift to me
01:26I have grave reflection, reflection of the grave Trees that once lived green now didn't brown
01:35The homes of tiny animals and little birds as well For the sake of man's progression have been drowned
01:44The damned pride defends him as he flew into, as he flew into the sky
01:52To give power to the people all this beauty has to die
02:14The damned pride defends him as he flew into, as he flew into the sky
