Lyrics I Ola 'oe - Benjamin Fairfield

Have you seen the hōkū in the heavens at night?
They show the way, they show the way
Here skies are clear and the stars burn bright
I ola 'oe I ola mākou nei

Have you seen the terns as the morning breaks?
They know the way, they know the way
Follow their flight from the seas to the bays
I ola 'oe I ola mākou nei

I ola 'oe, I ola oe
I ola 'oe I ola mākou nei
Look and listen, we can learn the way
I ola 'oe I ola mākou nei

Have you seen the rains bring the mountains to the shores?
Where is away? There is no away
All we become is because they went before
I ola 'oe I ola mākou nei
