1 Giant Leap - Ta Moko lyrics

Some people went around interviewing dying patients And not one person said they regretted Not making more money, or working harder They all seemed to say their regrets were Not spending more time with the people they love And not traveling more And relating more to the world and the planet. "The song expresses feelings of grief, Anger and empowerment, And is based on murder, Rape and plunder that happened to A particular tribe. It's such a powerful song it lets me get my Voice into the kind of areas That wouldn't be possible singing One of today's songs. It's gut-wrenching, Deeply emotional stuff, All about acknowledging the pain that goes with the fight For self determination, And the fact that we've survived that pain. I think every person feels that to some extent, Not just indigenous people but everyone."
