Imagine if what is

Was just your wild imagination

And everything you think you want

Was at your magic fingertips

 

Would you make guns, or money?

Shiny things to adorn yourself?

Because none of this even matters

Who are you?

 

(Chorus)

Who are you? Where are you from?

Where are you going?

Who are you? Where are you from?

Where are you going?

 

I don’t care

It’s not my fight

Leave the animals of the world to die

I am the only thing I have to care about

Who are you?

 

(Repeat chorus)

 

Is the world

What you make it?

Or is served on a plate, just take it?

Who put those thoughts inside your head?

Who are you?

 

(Repeat chorus)

 

Imagine if what is

Was just your wild imagination

And everything you think you want

Was at your magic fingertips

 

Ngā wawatatanga

Koia naka ko tō pōhewatanga

Ko ngā mea katoa ka minamina

Kei ō matimati matawhā

 

Ka hua pū, pūtea rānei?

Kia mau he mea hiriwa?

Nā te mea kāore i te hira

Ko wai koe?

 

(Chorus)

Ko wai koe? Nō hea koe? 

Kei te haere koe ki hea?

Ko wai koe? Nō hea koe? 

Kei te haere koe ki hea?

 

Kāore e pai ki ahau

Ehara nāku

Waiho kia mate ngā kararehe o te ao

Ko ahau noa iho ahau e manaaki

Ko wai koe?

 

(Repeat chorus)

 

Ko te ao

Ka hangaia e koe?

Kei te pereti māhau e kapo?

Nā wai ngā whakaaro ki rō roro?

Ko wai koe?

 

(Repeat chorus)

 

Ngā wawatatanga

Koia naka ko tō pōhewatanga

Ko ngā mea katoa ka minamina

Kei ō matimati matawhā
