Nightwish - The Children of 'Ata

Fonu oku mafu he mamahi 'oka malu efiafi
Kuo hapax koe 'e 'oseni
Foki maiki “api hoku ngaahi foha

Still vastness in the horizon
Fifteen long months under mocking sun
Land threw us there, away from world
Plays to us music yet unheard
We were there
We were there

Still vastness in our heartbeat
Solitude and woe tear us apart?
They say that man is the foulest beast
Roaming the hills of self-deceit
But we came back
We came back

We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
We all are
The children of 'Ata

This guitar we built still chimes with hope
Never gave our souls to the carrion crows
Every new day we saw the sun rise
Every new day we beat the lord of flies
We were there
We're still here

We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
We all are
The children of 'Ata

Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui
'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe
We are the ones to tell you why
We are the ones
Ko 'etu lotu ke tau mo'ui
'Oku mau keoi lepa atu pe

We're all here
On an island of black seas
Red in tooth
Red in claw
Red in love, the passionate young
We're still here
On an island of soon free
Learning to live
Yearning to give
The stranded a ride back home

We are the ones to tell you why
The world of us, it will survive
Light a fire for the boat afar
Campsite Gaia
Remember
The children of 'Ata
