E waka eke noa by Manaia Martin Akuhata
We are all in this together
E waka eke noa
My whanau and their voyage on the waka floor
E waka eke noa
My people arriving on the Aotearoa shore
E waka eke noa
The bodies of paddling warriors were sore
E waka eke noa
Many maunga and awa to explore
E waka eke noa
My warriors would scavenge for food till dawn
E waka eke noa
Please tell me there's no more war
E waka eke noa
We fish along the crystal clear lake shore
E waka eke noa
On our waka we take a corpulent boar
E waka eke noa
My mean maori waka soars
E waka eke noa
We are all in this together
We paddle together...
We paddle together…
My family's the best you’ll see just count to three
We paddle together…
Through the sunny days and the heavy weather
We paddle together…
We stay together for ever and ever
We paddle together…
If we all put our mind to it we could win with the weight of a feather
We paddle together…
We get on pimp my ride together and sit on our new seats made of leather
We paddle together …
We come on our budget wakas and look for tainui the real treasure
We paddle together…
If we combined we could be as strong as Floyd Mayweather

E waka eke noa by Reremoana
We are all in the same waka together
As it will stay this way together
We are all in this waka together
We will paddle to the side not through the center
We are all in this waka together
We will unite together and all those around us will surrender
We are all in this waka together
We will paddle through any weather
We are all in this waka together
No matter how long it takes we will paddle together from January to December
We are all in this waka together
As we paddle through the water ever so gently like a feather we unite together
E Waka Eke Noa
