whiri mako black - ta moko lyrics

1 giant leap and whiri mako black
some people went around interviewing dying patients
and not one person said they regretted
not making more money, or working harder
they all seemed to say their regrets were
not spending more time with the people they love
and not traveling more
and relating more to the world and the planet

“the song expresses feelings of grief
anger and empowerment
and is based on murder
rape and plunder that happened to
a particular tribe
it’s such a powerful song it lets me get my
voice into the kind of areas
that wouldn’t be possible singing
one of today’s songs
it’s gut-wrenching
deeply emotional stuff
all about acknowledging the pain that goes with the fight
for self determination
and the fact that we’ve survived that pain
i think every person feels that to some extent
not just indigenous people but everyone.”
