Description
A song I composed during this covid time. Talks about yearning for my home, Aotearoa or New Zealand. Thanks to my good friend for her creativity, Adele Wi Repa and my beautiful niece Bayley Mataira who sings this Waiata on behalf of all of us Kiwis who live away from home. Special thanks to all our families and friends from mainland USA, Australia, Japan and Hawaii. Kua Roa Te Wa Aotearoa - Its been a long time New Zealand

Kua roa te wā
Aotearoa
Ko te wairua aroha
Ka mau roa
ki taku manawa
Taku manawa
Kua roa te wā
Kei taku whenua
Ko ō maunga, ō moana
Ka mau roa
Ki taku manawa
Taku manawa
Chorus
Aotearoa
Whenua tīpuna
E karanga mai ana ki au
Nau mai rā
Nau mai rā
Kua roa te wā
Ki tauwhenua
Ka hotuhotu te manawa
Mo koutou kua ngaro atu rā
Kua roa te wā
Kei taku whenua
Konau ake nei ahau ki
Aotearoa
Kei taku manawa mo ake
Kei taku manawa
Oooo
Kei taku manawa
