Ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke o te ara e
Kaua e mate, he tangata pūmanawa koe

Anga whakamua, ka tutuki koe

Lyrics:
We are a family
Together as one, we’re MC
Spreading love, showing unity
Overcoming the adversity

Respect and responsibility
MC pride and humility
It’s not a fantasy
We can rise above and leave a legacy

And we will rise (strong minds, strong hearts)
And we will rise (we all play a part)
And we will rise, we’ll never stop,
Climb that mountain ‘til we reach the top
Seek the heights, seek the heights
Seek the heights, seek the heights

It don’t matter what people say
We have it inside, we can pave the way
Rise to the challenge everyday
I know we can make it, we’ll be okay

Respect and responsibility
MC pride and humility
It’s not a fantasy
We can rise above and leave a legacy

And we will rise (strong minds, strong hearts)
And we will rise (we all play a part)
And we will rise, we’ll never stop,
Climb that mountain ‘til we reach the top
Seek the heights, seek the heights
Seek the heights, seek the heights

I know it’s hard, the struggles that you face
You feel like giving up, but don’t let these talents go to waste
Just stand up tall, you’ve got the strength within
Keep pushing on, you’re gonna win
Sing it with me now

And we will rise, rise
And we will rise
We will rise
Rise

And we will rise (strong minds, strong hearts)
And we will rise (we all play a part)
And we will rise, we’ll never stop,
Climb that mountain ‘til we reach the top
Seek the heights, seek the heights
Seek the heights, seek the heights

I know it’s hard, the struggles that you face
You feel like giving up, but don’t let those talents go to waste
Just stand up tall, you’ve got the strength within
Keep pushing on, you’re gonna win

SEEK THE HEIGHTS!
