  • lyrics:
    My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer,
    Events conspire to bring us to our knees,
    My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way,
    Rise up, defend yourself, never give in,
    Look to the sky, the spirit of Te Whiti,
    The endless tide is murmuring his name.
    I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
    And even at the darkest hour,
    His presence will remain.
    I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
    Te Whiti he used the language of the spirit,
    Then stood accused, the madman and his dream,
    He saw the train go roaring through the tunnel,
    He heard the voice travel on the magic wire,
    But he loved the silence of the river,
    He watched the dog piss on the cannon's wheel.
    I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
    And even at the darkest hour,
    His presence will remain.
    I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
    One day you'll know the truth,
    They can't pull out the roots,
    Come and take me home,
    To weep for my lost brother.
    They gather still, the clouds of Taranaki,
    His children's children wearing the white plume,
    So take me for the sins of these sad islands,
    The wave still breaks on the rock of Rouhotu.
    And when you taste the salt that's on your pudding,
    And when you taste the sugar in your soup,
    Think of Te Whiti, he'll never be defeated,
    Even at the darkest hour,
    His presence will remain,
    I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka,
    Come to Parihaka,
    Weep for my lost brother,
    The spirit of nonviolence,
    Has come to fill the silence,
    Come to Parihaka.

    I hate to see you suffer
    Events conspire to bring us to our knees
    My friend, my friend
    You've taken this the wrong way
    Rise up, defend yourself, never give in
    Look to the sky the spirit of Te Whiti
    The endless tide is murmuring his name
    Tohu, Te Whiti will never be defeated
    And even at the darkest hour
    Their presence will remain
    I'll sing for you a song of Parihaka
    Te Whiti, he used the language of the spirit
    Then stood accused a madman and his dream
    They saw the train go roaring through the tunnel
    They heard the voice travel on the magic wire
    But they loved the silence of the river
    They dreamed a dog p$?&ed on the cannon's wheel
    Tohu, Te Whiti will never be defeated
    Not even at the darkest hour
    Their presence will remain
    I'll sing for you a song of Parihaka
    One day you'll know the truth
    They can't pull out the roots
    Come and take me home

    They gather still the clouds of Taranaki
    His children's children wearing the white plume
    So take me for the sins of these sad islands
    The wave still breaks on the rock of Rahotu
    And when you taste the pepper on your pudding
    And when you taste the sugar in your soup
    Tohu, Te Whiti, they'll never be defeated
    Even at the darkest hour
    Their presence will remain
    I'll sing for you the song of Parihaka
    Come to Parihaka
    Weep for my lost brothers

    Has come to fill the silence
