Kotuku Hope Song

The hope song has been composed and sung with no accompaniment as inspiration to get bands, rock, pop, ethnic groups to record their own versions and put on here so the hope song becomes a multi cultural chant in many many different styles and languages. Sharon Thorburn from the Kotuku Choir will walk the length of New Zealand from September 29th at Katiaia Stewart Island on 25th December singing hope from one end of NZ to the other, walking the nation to empower New Zealanders and the world to get up and be the difference.

Sing a New Song New Zealand Copyrite Sharon Thorburn July 2009.

Light a candle for our nation
Light a candle, come walk with me.
Light a candle for your children
Light a candle so we can see

We are the Islands, the first to see the light
Four million candles cannot be put out

Be the candle for your family
Be the voice weve never heard
Be the love song that you long for,
Lift your feet, become the prayer

We are the islands, the first to see the dawn
While the world is sleeping, its hope song is born
Can you hear the sound of our childrens silent tears
Our song, it must rise higher, higher than our fears

From Cape Reinga to Stewart Island
Our song will rise so strong and clear,
Walk the distance, sing our freedom
Rise up New Zealand, Beyond despair

We are the Islands, the first to see the sun
For million voices cannot be undone
The match is struck, the flames begun
The path will rise beneath our feet
The song must be sung

Be the candle for your nation
Sing your language strong and clear
Be the difference that we wait for
Lift your feet, become the prayer
Lift your feet, become the prayer.
