The robin flew down
To see what I had stirred
The weka fought
On the rainy beach
I heard the kiwi
I heard the penguins too
The trees did sway
In the native breeze
Rakiura
Glowing Skies
Anchor Stone of Maui's Canoe
Rakiura
Never die
Remind us how this land once was
Kaka flew
And squawked over the town
The bellbirds sang
The tui were bold
Dolphins played
And swam on by the wharf
Past the outcrops
Of granite so old
Rakiura
Glowing Skies
Anchor Stone of Maui's Canoe
Rakiura
Never die
Remind us how this land once was
