Fonu oku mafu he mamahi `oka malu efiafi

Kuo hapax koe `e `oseni

Foki maiki api hoku ngaahi foha

Still vastness in the horizon

15 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

We are the ones to tell you why

We are the ones

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
