Paradise

This is one of the songs we sung at the Room 3 & 4 Assembly.  Room 4 had great pleasure teaching the lyrics and sign language to Room 3 kids. Where we then were able to share it with you all.  Singing makes us feel happy, especially with such a lovley Kiwi song as this one. 

Just incase you want to keep practicing at home and Mums, Dads, Grandmas, Koros, Tipunas, Uncles, Aunties or anyone wants to learn this beautiful song, here it is!  A hyperlink to the youtube signing and the lyrics, are below.

In the morning, can you hear the tui call
Can you hear the tui call. Can you?
Then in the evening when the sun goes down
And the moon is out, hold my hand

Can we chill underneath this pohutukawa tree,
Life is a breeze like 1, 2, 3 ahuh. Come on
Let’s take a dip in the ocean and watch the sun‐set
Time is precious that’s what we forget oh no. It’s gone…

This is, where the taniwha was born
Where Maui drew his hook, my home
And no one can take this away from me
My land is a part of me till I’m old

Hold my hand and raise your glass to
Life in paradise, paradise
I can take you places people only dream of
But it’s all mine in paradise

Time is precious that’s what we forget
Time is precious that’s what we forget oh no, it’s gone
Time is precious that’s what we forget, time is precious, oh no, it’s gone
