Lyrics :
You see now how he walks
His shoulders high
The world goes by
There aint nobody home
On the street he's not alone
Another waste
Descendants of the chiefs
Their blood absorbed into this land
Where we now live as slaves
He's found that empty space
A chronic habit his escape
Ya corner him
You corner all of us
Am I just colour blind
Or is it my people filling up the inside
Nowhere to hide
Another waste
Chorus:
Come come share in (share)
Come share in (share)
This game of life
Let love save
Let love save
What's left behind
Nowhere to hide
Another waste
Come come share in (share)
Come share in (share)
This game of life
Let love save
Let love save
What's left behind
Nowhere to hide
Another waste
Verse 2:
I see it in, I see it in our kids
The remnants of
The leaders we were
I'm so sick of being a follower
Loosing faith in my minister
Another waste
I can see right through you
See the light that shines through
What are we waiting for
Get in behind me
Help me open them doors
Satisfy my cause
Another waste
Chorus Repeat

[@Fox2010nova]

I AM MAORI... And people who have the Natural Ability to make this grown mans heart well up with emotion - Just as Maisey; are true gifts to us from God. You make me EVER PROUDER to be MAORI. Thank-you Maisey

[@youleeyahtaunuu1817]

That's right!! I never grew up knowing anything about my Maori culture but violence and shame. It was hard healing from it too and this woman and her heart is one of the remedies that's help me know myself truely. Thankyou Maisey Rika. ❤ I Love and Appreciate YOU!

[@nickwignall117]

i'm half māori and this song makes me believe in our whanau but i'm half white so sadly i'll never be accepted properly

[@Nikuzzy]

This song just made me break into tears... I too can "see the light that shines through" ALL Maori youth and it is truly heart breaking to see so many choosing a dark path. Miss Rika your are an inspiration xxxxx

[@Immortalsoul1016]

[@IputiProductions685]

Haha. Me too. When i play her songs where she sings in Maori my parents are like, what the heck e le se Samoa ga mea. lol

[@JMAORICHIC]

This song helped me one night, my man was drunk and was gonna egg the hell out at ,me, just at that moment this song started playing when he was bout to go crazy. I think the beauty of the song made him chill the hell out think it made him realise would an egg he was being and how much a waste of nrg he was putting into bein abusive so thank u.

[@MarthaRewitereinga1]

That fulla needs kicking to the kirb..no clown is worth jack if he destroys your peace by yelling and talking shet f n looser😠

[@66701313]

Hawaii will get a chance to see her sing...... Me too have been a fan of her's the last 2 yrs. Her Cd is excellent. BUY IT DON'T BURN IT. ALOHA NISH

[@blungazz]

I love Maisey Rika. I've been following her for a year or so now I think. I'm glad she's getting some of the recognition she deserves these days. I hope her success just keeps climbing. This song makes me cry.

[@sammywest1987]

[@SXCSLVT]

love the meanings of her songs.

[@nnstegehuisjr]

This is such a beautiful song.I work with our youth and this song has touched a place so deep in my heart.We must take care of our children.I go home to the Hawaiian Islands and see the drug problem that has taken so many young souls.They have no where and no one. It is time that we take our children back and lead them away from this dark ally they live in.

[@jermainepaparoa2490]

Maisey Rika is a Taonga for our blood & Our spiritual grounding...BIG FAN...MaYjA meAn!

[@iamkiwi85]

You're songs are always so spiritual maisey, awesome work. Love listening to your music

[@starryeyed110796]

This song makes me cry its so amazing!

[@eretihema9273]

credit to this beautiful young lady what a voice,

[@johnouds]

I learned about Maisey Rika tru a video called swim or die from her that was videotaped in my hometown Leiden in the Netherlands, and i fell in love with her music, this song is great

[@0Kimchi0]

This is the best song ever. It is the breaking point of our naivete, that point before we hit irreversible destruction, the peak of tolerance. Maisey and JJ are brilliant beyond measure. And most importantly this song tells me, "To know where you're going, you have to know where you come from." Otherwise, we're lost, like the young man in the vid. Let love save us before we hit rock bottom. Thank you Maisey and JJ! Cheers.

[@zaneshaw2313]

I'm only half Maori but I respect our culture I wish to be more accepted one day

@MayaRaimondo ”Let us pray. Oh heavenly father, we thank you for your generosity, compassion, and worldly treasures handed down to us all. Please take care of the many who are incarcerated, mentally disabled, and the not so well off. Lead us towards the pathway our ancestors set for us so that their aspirations come to fruition…” or something like that. Sorry if the translation is a little feeble but we hope it helps....
