I've been there, battled addiction, homelessness and depression, starved, spent birthdays and Christmases alone staring at the ceiling when I had a roof over my head, all while living overseas, all with no family support. I came out the other side though and better for it.
I lost my brother to suicide and I struggle so much trying to understand what he was going through before he left us. If only he asked for help! This song wasn't able to help my brother but it definitely helped me let out my grief. Thank you so so much for creating such a beautiful song.
My dad tried to take his life when I was young but luckily my mum was there just in time and lifted him up before he went through with it so who ever is reading this just remember God put you on this earth for a reason and if anyone tries to put you down for it they ant gonna get any where in life you are loved so don't forget that
Pai tonu to ngakau nui, arohanuitia mo te ao ki roto i a koe, no reira he turu mo koe ki noho me he karauna ki runga i to upoko tapu, i runga i te rangiatea ki te taha o te rangatira atua ariki nui, te matua te tamaiti me te wairua tapu me nga tupuna whanui i runga rawa. Pai tonu to huarahi i mua ake nei e taku hoa.
I balled my eyes out when I first watched this...It makes me wonder what my loved ones had gone through before they took their own lives. Ive been so low but Im so blessed to have the will power within me to always pick myself back up. This Song always reminds me to be as kind as i can because you never know what somebody is going through Look after one another. Watch for the signs. Drop the Ego. Lift the heart xx
This is a good representation of mental illness, depression & anxiety. The dark space, tiredness, room messy, no caring about physical appearance. I absolutely understand this. And with love hope everyone else does too. This has powerful meanings behind this both video and lyrics.

This is something I’m sure my mom is going through right now, but I’m not there to help her. I’m in adoption, only 13. I wish to be by her side. I wish I understood what she is going through, I wish for my siblings, I, and parents to be together. My dad, I don’t really know, I love him but he really needs to get his act together and get on the right track. This has not happened only once but throughout my whole life. It’s heartbreaking, but I think that I don’t suffer more than what my parents are suffering through. While my dad and mom our on the streets, I’m in a home, I have a phone, I have money, I have so much, and I’d trade in everything just to be together as a family again. I have 5 siblings, and I’m the oldest. I have to make sure to put on the right act in order for my younger siblings to be happy and make good and right choices, I have to teach them the right ways, I don’t want them going through what my parents and I had to go through EVER in their lives.
I was self harming and had thoughts of ending it all before I was told I was suffering from depression, that was four years ago. I am still suffering but no longer self harm due to friends and antidepressants, each day is a struggle but it's one day away from. Where I was, and I'm in my 50's and a man, it has no age restriction.
This song ever since it released hits another part of my heart. If you can relate to this song you can feel like wairua, in the beats,the lyrics,the vocals its beautiful. It's like a what we all want to say out loud but can't put into a song xx it's beautiful also to know that there is always help out there for anyone who's suffering ❤️❤️ He aroha mutungakore whanau 💕 we are all human 💓
This waiata makes me pouri..because theres alot of people that can relate.. silence.. Hiding away.. Sleeping alot.. Struggles of not liking yourself.. a person is sometimes dangerous to others or dangerous to themselves need the message out there clear that they know they not alone reach out open up and never be whakamaa about it.. i can feel the Aroha in this waiata
I remember when I first heard this waiata. My heart was soo over whelmed with emotions I couldn't stop crying. The lyrics hit home for me as I was going through a really rough time in my life. Even listening to it today still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Maimoa for sharing your guys ataahua waiata to the motu.
This is what I'm going thru right now, it will get better if not I just walk away, it be hard but I've got to take that walk...This song has alot of meanings so beautiful...
there is so much of us who have experienced loss through suicde with all cultures there is no barrier if it wasn't for one of my best mates i would be in the ground that was 31 years ago im 50 now this song hits you to the core but it doesnt hurt to remember thats part of the healing & i balled my eyes when i first heard this beautiful waiata kia kaha whanau you are not alone dont be scared to reach out 😎
This is too relatable and I needed this Edit: I am moving home next week after 6 years here in aussie and I miss being surrounded by my culture but I love watching you guys so I can stay connected 💛💛
Tēnā koe Rina, I’ve been here 8 years this time around and am feeling the call of home too! Kia kaha rā koe and all the best on your journey back across the sea
Are you a victim of creation? I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope. Suffocating in the shadows. Finding my air to breathe. To release the truth of me. Maaahhh feels!! looovvvee!!
Kia Ora! I’ve used this beautiful song in my TH-cam video and copied the link in the description box! I hope you guys can understand and don’t copyright infringe me or whatever happens when you get in trouble!! I just couldn’t use any other song for my video about my sister. She absolutely LOVED this song and it couldn’t relate any more! She recently passed away taking her own life and I break down EVERY time I hear this song. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece!!
This song is absolutely beautiful, The Voices are Epic The Words hit the heart and the mind, The video clip many of us in the world can relate too, I love this song and I love this group they are amazing, Nga mihi nui Te Roopu Maimoa
Can relate 😭 So much mamae in this waiata reaches in and pulls at the heart strings from all who has suffered any type of depression grief or suicidal thoughts I thank you 🙏 currently learning the lyrics so I can waiata to my babies before their bedtime every night 💛
Love this so much. When I was dealing with PPD, many times I wanted to end the hand I was dealt. But thanks to the Almighty, the support of my husband and my children, I was able to endure it all and come out stronger than ever. ever....
What's with the thumbs down people dont believe in good music especially home grown at that the lyrics have so much meaning of our true feelings , the struggles we face together to become stronger no shame in asking for help stand strong as one !!!
This is so powerful. I remember watching this when I was super low, and watching it now Im super proud of myself for surviving it all and becoming who I am and aspiring to be better ✨
Felt this song str8 away it's so powerful and very true, alot of our people r suffering inside and desperately looking for help but don't know how to get the help they need because they are unsure if they r right or wrong to even feel the way they do , they feel confused and scared, uncertain about whats happening within themselves 😔 . Saddens me that a few to many take their lives because alot of us cant see the suffering and struggle within themselves, OPEN OUR EYES AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND LOOK FOR TELL TALE SIGNS
I really, really needed to see this right now. I had a massive breakdown last night. I am suffering severe depression and anxiety and found comfort with this, ringing and having a chat to beyond blue and holding my taonga to help me get my mana back. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 💖💖💖✨🧚✨🧚✨🧚✨
Hope you are feeling a bit better I live in Auckland if you ever need somebody to talk to I’m here and happy to listen. I know it’s a bit random but it shouldn’t be. Ko Tahi Aroha

Thankyou soo much for shedding a light on what depression is like. It was really really hard for me to watch this video without crying. This song hit home for me being a survivor of depression. I don’t know where I would be right now if it wasn’t for my family and God. All it takes is for someone to reach out , so in saying that this song will always get me through a dark day. Thankyou Maimoa Whanau xxx
My younger sister took her life in Feb this year. This song wrecks me. I didn't do enough. She was hurting so bad. So many "if only" and "what if" and "I should have". Rest in love sissy ❤
I'm thinking that.. everything will be nothing in the end.. the more i live the more i love the more painful it becomes.. i lost all my immediate family one by one since i was toddler and finally alone at 14.. life is exhausting,very much.. although blessed with such a good friend who stays for so long.. I'm starting to feel like living again..and yet here i am thinking like this again
Change A life an nevery give up! Also Make Any day Betty😀😍🇮🇹🇳🇿 We understand! Aotearoa warrior🤗 Trust believe in yourself always Chin up! Move forward👍
Resonates with me so much, I looooove this song! Just can’t help but cry because of how much this song has meaning to my life right now, thank you Maimoa ❤️
Everyone, at some stage in their lives, will go through these feels if they haven't already. Or at least know people who are. As long as we keep reaching out to our friends and whanau, we stay strong xx
my dad passed from suicide My step dad was one of his mates and he passed the same way when i was 13 My mum is not the same woman that raised me anymore and I'm 27 now and I moved out when I was 16, now I Have a beautiful son a beautiful partner and I'm giving it my all

I only found this waiata a coupla days ago. It wasn't til just now when i found the video that I gained more understanding. I felt a spiritual connection to it right away. Beautiful, soulful, impactful. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Bort me to tears! Was like watching myself, empowering waiata, depression doesnt discriminate, regardless of colour, age or race. Be there for one another regardless!!! Nga mihi Maimoa whanau, and thankyou xox
This song is my go to. Especially during my days where suicide is heavy on mind. Today is one of those days. And it’s been in hour into this song playing in a loop. & honestly, I AM struggling. My heart is broken , my mind is confused. I feel so alone. Reaching out isn’t an option, I want to feel the way I feel because I want that push. I want to feel unwanted, so when it comes to doing what my heart & mind urges for, I won’t have any regret.
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS 😍 such a beautiful song and I’m sure a lot of people can relate to this! Love the lyrics, LOVE the vocals. Yous are blessed! 💯🧡
Been suffering my depression for years...1st attempt of suicide I was 6...taken off my mother who was an alcoholic and abusive and neglected me on my 9th bday....By God's grace I'm still here...people think because I'm kind that I haven't experienced nothing...but truth be told the best people I know have suffered the most! True victims wouldn't go out of their way to kick another person down just like those who know true suffering.. would not make another suffer. I'm now 25. If you think being kind and judging people rightfully isn't important THINK AGAIN..You never know what ANYONE is going through! Never judge a book by its cover...just cause someone holds themselves well doesn't mean they aren't suffering it just means they're strong...so be kind!
Beatiful waiata......never realised what this song was about until I listened to the words....but the actress in the video is amazing made it real and can feel the pain.....arohanui to all who go through thought like that xx

Omg, this song is so beautiful - and the harmonies are mean! Going through some stuff atm but this song is definitely helping! Not one to share my emotions but this song makes me ball my eyes out.
Kei hea ra ngā kupu - inā te ātaahua o te waiata nei. Ka mutu, e rongo ana taku wairua pōuri i te rirerire o te waiata. Nei au e tuku mihi whakamānawa ake ki a koutou o Maimoa. Ko koutou a runga!
Kalega!! this moved me in so many ways and just he tino ataahua whanau xox . I wear my I AM HOPE band everyday so those who are depressed or are feeling down can talk to me on the streets in the mall...
Love this song maimoa!! I cry everytime i listen to it, really tugs at the heart strings :( for me everytime i watch the video i think of my cousin and friends who have passed on due to suicide and imagine them feeling like this girl. So sad, awesome song.
This song is real talk about real life situations!! This is song perfect for me atm. Nothing worse than depression and anxiety to put you under!! But your beautiful song reminded me that I'm human inspite of my tragedy. Thank yous for this amazingly beautiful and powerful song!! 🙏❤️🔥💜✨Yous are brilliant and amazing!! Much love to y'all!! ❤️💜🙏💝💝🙏❤️💜🙏
I've been there, battled addiction, homelessness and depression, starved, spent birthdays and Christmases alone staring at the ceiling when I had a roof over my head, all while living overseas, all with no family support. I came out the other side though and better for it.

This is a good representation of mental illness, depression & anxiety. The dark space, tiredness, room messy, no caring about physical appearance. I absolutely understand this. And with love hope everyone else does too. This has powerful meanings behind this both video and lyrics.
LYRICS (WE ARE HUMAN MAIMOA)
Non existent and numb
Anaesthetics kicked in
I want to sleep in Are you a victim of creation?
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
Oh broken mirror on the wall
As I lay in the pieces on the floor
A silent cry, slowly tearing me apart
Will I be able to survive?
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
Kei hea taku kahu toroa
Maiaorere hei kaupare i te kino? Kei hea taku whetū kanapu Hei arahi, arataki i ahau?
Look in to my eyes I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human

Hi
My younger sister took her life in Feb this year. This song wrecks me. I didn't do enough. She was hurting so bad. So many "if only" and "what if" and "I should have". Rest in love sissy ❤
I lowkey wished I had a friend like Pere I love this song so much
I'm thinking that.. everything will be nothing in the end.. the more i live the more i love the more painful it becomes.. i lost all my immediate family one by one since i was toddler and finally alone at 14.. life is exhausting,very much.. although blessed with such a good friend who stays for so long.. I'm starting to feel like living again..and yet here i am thinking like this again
Love this song.means alot.

my dad passed from suicide
My step dad was one of his mates and he passed the same way when i was 13
My mum is not the same woman that raised me anymore and I'm 27 now and I moved out when I was 16,
now I Have a beautiful son a beautiful partner and I'm giving it my all
Verse 1]
Non existent and numb
Anaesthetics kicked in
I want to sleep in
Are you a victim of creation?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope
Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
[Verse 2]
Oh broken mirror on the wall
As I lay in the pieces on the floor
A silent cry, slowly tearing me apart
Will I be able to survive?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope
Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
[Bridge]

Hei arahi, arataki i ahau?
[Chorus]
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
Because we, we are human
Because we, we are human
Thanks for the lyrics
I only found this waiata a coupla days ago. It wasn't til just now when i found the video that I gained more understanding. I felt a spiritual connection to it right away. Beautiful, soulful, impactful. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou
Bort me to tears! Was like watching myself, empowering waiata, depression doesnt discriminate, regardless of colour, age or race. Be there for one another regardless!!! Nga mihi Maimoa whanau, and thankyou xox
I am so very happy I have found this. A truly beautiful waiata in every sense. Thank you.
This song is my go to. Especially during my days where suicide is heavy on mind. Today is one of those days. And it’s been in hour into this song playing in a loop. & honestly, I AM struggling. My heart is broken , my mind is confused. I feel so alone. Reaching out isn’t an option, I want to feel the way I feel because I want that push. I want to feel unwanted, so when it comes to doing what my heart & mind urges for, I won’t have any regret.
Kia kaha girl, hope I'm not late, you'll come thru. Call out to Jesus.. You will soon realise He's all you have or need.
When I first saw this I cried this was me for 4 months until my sisters finally came to see me and walked into my room 😭❤
What a beautiful waiata. Thank you Maimoa for blessing us with this thought provoking waiata....Nga Mihi nunui....
What a beautiful song and you have a lovely voice.
Im not relating this beautiful harmony to a dark place. Im just loving it and chilling in a good place

I Appreciate Your music talent thanks for this amazing waiata keep up the good work make more in this type of way please thank You...🎉❤
Been suffering my depression for years...1st attempt of suicide I was 6...taken off my mother who was an alcoholic and abusive and neglected me on my 9th bday....By God's grace I'm still here...people think because I'm kind that I haven't experienced nothing...but truth be told the best people I know have suffered the most! True victims wouldn't go out of their way to kick another person down just like those who know true suffering.. would not make another suffer. I'm now 25. If you think being kind and judging people rightfully isn't important THINK AGAIN..You never know what ANYONE is going through! Never judge a book by its cover...just cause someone holds themselves well doesn't mean they aren't suffering it just means they're strong...so be kind!
Maimoa is the best vocal group in the world.
love all the beautiful voices and the words and rhythm just ment to be
Amazing what a beautiful place and time to be in to hear a song like this
Beatiful waiata......never realised what this song was about until I listened to the words....but the actress in the video is amazing made it real and can feel the pain.....arohanui to all who go through thought like that xx
My favourite from Maimoa, voices are on point.
Non existent and numb
Anaesthetics kicked in
I want to sleep in
Are you a victim of creation?
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope
Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
Oh broken mirror on the wall
As I lay in the pieces on the floor
A silent cry, slowly tearing me apart
Will I be able to survive?
I'm fighting for the smallest silver of hope
Suffocating in the shaddows
Finding my air to breathe
To release the truth of me
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
Kei hea taku kahu toroa
Maiaorere hei kaupare i te kino?
Kei hea taku whetū kanapu
Hei arahi, arataki i ahau?
Look in to my eyes
I understand I'll empathise
Together we'll stand
You don't have to hide
Just take my hand
Because we, we are human
