My friend my friendnI hate to see you suffernEvents conspire to bring us to our kneesnMy friend my friendnYou've taken this the wrong waynRise up defend yourself never give innnLook to the sky the spirit of Te WhitinThe endless tide is murmuring his namenI know Te Whiti will never be defeatednAnd even at the darkest hournHis presence will remainnnI'll sing for you a song of ParihakannTe Whiti he used the language of the spiritnThen stood accused a madman and his dreamnHe saw the train go roaring thru the tunnelnHe heard the voice travel on the magic wirenBut Te Whiti loved the silence of the rivernHe watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheelnnI know Te Whiti will never be defeatednAnd even at the darkest hournHis presence will remainnI'll sing for you a song of ParihakannOne day you'll know the truthnThey can't pull out the rootsnCome and take me homenTo weep for my lost brothernnThey gather still the clouds of TaranakinHis children's children wearing the white plumenSo take me for the sins of these sad islandsnThe wave still breaks on the rock of RouhotunnAnd when you taste the salt that's on your puddingnAnd when you taste the sugar in your soupnThink of Te Whiti He'll never be defeatednEven at the darkest hournHis presence will remainnnI'll sing for you the song of ParihakanCome to ParihakanWeep for my lost brothernThe spirit of nonviolencenHas come to fill the silencenCome to Parihaka
