What a difference a day makes,
There’s a change in the weather.

Now the sun shines forever.

A change is going to come again.
Yesterday I hadn’t met you,
Now will it ever be the same. (Be the Same)

Chorus
Keep on banging the drum,
Keep on singing the song,
That’s what we’re gonna do, yeah.
And the rhythm goes on,
Keeps moving along,
To the sound of you.

I used to be lonely,
And I never felt right.
Now you put a spell on me,
And I feel so good inside.

I’m without an alibi,
And arrested by your smile.
I don’t want to say goodbye,
I just want you to stay awhile. (Stay awhile)

When you’re in need.

EVERYWHERE YOU GO

Vocals by Meryl Cassie, Caleb Ross, Katei Bonnar and Tari More

Is it me or my imagination?
I feel uneasy with this crazy situation.
And nobody knows where it’s leading to next,
All we can do is hope for the best.
These kind of things only happen in the movies,
It’s all fools’ gold, all your diamonds and your rubies.
There’s no more books so let’s write a new story,
Of passion and joy and looking for glory.

Chorus
Everywhere that you go,
I’m coming too.
Anywhere that you lead,
I’ll follow you.
Gotta feeling we,
That we’re gonna be alright,
I know that it will.
Anything that you want,
I’ll see it through.
Any place that you’ve been,
I’ll be there too.
Gotta feeling we,
That were gonna be alright,
Alright.

We’ve been full circle, we’ve gone round and round,
The twists and turns, all the ups and downs.
We can get what we want if we just understand,
Everything we do is in our own hands.
Gotta get ahead and find a new solution,
Work together, that’s our resolution.
Gotta be one voice that’s on the attack,
We gotta go forward, never look back.

Repeat Chorus x3

I CAN’T STOP

Vocals by Andrea Sanders & The Beat Girls, Katei Bonnar, and Tari More

You lift me up, you bring me down,
I twist and turn, you spin me round,
Oh you got me.

You take me high when I am low,
You give me space and room to grow,
Oh you got me.

Chorus
I can’t stop thinking about you,
The things you say, the things that you do.
As long as I live, I’ll be there for you,
I’ve no doubts cause our love is true.

You hold me near when I’m away,
And every night and every day,
Oh I want you.

Without you there the sun don’t shine,
The stars don’t glow and nothing rhymes,
Oh I want you.

Repeat Chorus

You give me a reason to survive,
You wake me up, I feel alive,
Oh you got me.

I can’t sit still, can’t concentrate,
I need you so, I just can’t wait,
Oh you got me.

SPINNING

Vocals by Meryl Cassie, Katie Bonnar, Tari More, and Matt Prime
Rap by Haydn Williams

I got this feeling that I can’t explain,
Outside myself inside I’m the same.
It’s all a drag, life’s re-arranged,
I’m just hanging out.

I don’t know why I feel this way,
All mixed up nothing to say.
I guess I might find that one day,
I stop fooling around.

I really really don’t want to go,
I really really don’t want to stay.

Chorus
My head is spinning round and around,
On the ground now.
Singing to the sound that I’ve found,
That I’ve found now.
My head is spinning round and around,
And I’m down now.
Singing to the sound that I’ve found,
In this town now.

Bridge
Ruffin it up on the party line,
Step in time, (x2)

Don’t want your help or sympathy,
I’m not that person I used to be,
Times have changed, now I’m on my own,
Can’t you see I’m checking out.

I don’t like the way you criticize,
Don’t need you as a friend of mine.
I’m not caught up in your uncertainty,
I’m glad you’re gone, now I can be me.

I really really don’t want to go,
I really really don’t want to stay.

Repeat Chorus

Don’t like work,
Just wanna play.
Do what I want,
And not what you say.
I know one day,
It’ll come to an end.
But until then,
I won’t pretend.

THE DREAM MUST STAY ALIVE

Vocal by Rosalind J, Meryl Cassie, and Katei Bonnar

Look into the future what do you see?
I really need to know now is there a place for me?
Tell me where do we go from here?

Take me as you find me for what I am,
And when I make mistakes please understand,
And as long as I know you’re near,
There is nothing for me to fear.

Chorus
Out of the darkness, a light shines,
Burning through the coldest night,
And we can find a way, (Together we’ll make it)
With every step we take, (Moving closer together)
If we’re gonna survive,
The dream must stay alive.

Baby will you hold me when I’m afraid,
See me through the danger ’till the break of day,
If there’s love there’s a chance for me,
Just believe in yourself you’ll see.

Repeat Chorus

And as long as I know you’re near,
There is nothing for me to fear.

Repeat Chorus

Stay alive,
Alive…

THIS IS THE PLACE

Vocals by Dwayne Cameron, Caleb Ross, Danny James, and Matt Prime

Do you believe we could start again?
Be the way we were, we used to be then.
Am I wrong in thinking we could turn back the clock,
And get back what was, get back what is lost,
Oh no.

Bridge
I never knew how much I really needed you too,
And now you’re gone it’s too late cause I’ve lost you.

Chorus
This is the place where we laughed,
Where we danced,
Where we walked in the rain,
Now it’s not the same.
This is the place where you cried,
And I wiped all the tears from your face,
This is the place.

Love has taken a hold over me,
I was mesmerized, but now I can see.
And I remember when we were on fire,
When you told me how you’re never been higher,
So high.

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus

I really wanna hear you call my name,
And tell myself that we can do it again.
It should be really easy, not the end,
We were made for each other,
A friend and a lover.
I really wanna lose myself in you,
No one else could love you the way that I do.
And every time I find somebody new,
That’s when I discover,
There’s nobody other, other than you.

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus x2

Do you believe we could start again,
Be the way we were, the way we were then.

TRIBE SPIRIT

Vocals by Meryl Cassie, Megan Alatini and Monique Cassie

Tribal chanting

Listen to the wind blow,
Look inside what does it show?
Time passing so very slow, I see:

All the tears, all the pain,
Echoes of the past are the same.
The sun shining all of the shame, I see:

Dark clouds across the sky,
Children asking why,
Is there hope above for me?

Where is all the love?
Can that spirit shine within me?
Lighten my life, let it be.

Chorus
The dawn of a new day,
A child is born who will pray?
For hope, peace and love what do they say?

I’m in your heart, fill me.
I’m in your soul, believe in me.
Open your eyes and you will see: me.

Bridge
The gods of time are they yours or mine?
Out of the darkness the light will shine.
The spirit of the tribe is yours and mine.
Out of the darkness the light will shine: shine on me.

Tribal chanting

Repeat chorus

The spirit of the tribe is yours and mine.
The spirit of the tribe is yours and mine.

YOU BELONG TO ME

Accompanied by Lota Nuu Choir
Directed by Inglese Ete

I’ve been on the run,
Felt like my ship was sinking.
Now look what you’ve done,
Now that my heart is singing.

Everywhere you go,
I just can’t help myself thinking.
It’s better you know,
That to me you are everything.

Bridge
And now for the first time,
I realize and I find.
I don’t have to decide,
What’s wrong what’s right, Because.

Chorus
I love the way,
You make me feel,
That you belong to me,
I belong to you.

My troubles are gone,
With the air that I’m breathing.
And look what you’ve done,
Now that you got me reeling.

You’re on my mind,
With the things that you said to me.
I’m starting to find,
That you touch is my remedy.

Repeat Bridge

Repeat Chorus (x3)

Ain’t nothing wrong cause you belong to me to me.
