Racing to Win
Embracing the Call: Exploring Freedom and Triumph
Lyrics
The search of the oceans have captured the minds
The quest to explore the oceans has fascinated many individuals.
And souls of so many men
It has deeply impacted and influenced numerous people.
Guess we've all stood and stared in awe and wonder
We've all marveled at approaching storms, feeling awe and fascination.
At a storm that's just rolling in
Witnessing the imminent arrival of a storm has captivated us.
Felt the spray on our faces the wind in our hair
We've experienced the ocean's spray on our faces and the wind tousling our hair.
Heard the seagulls screaming above
We've heard the raucous cries of seagulls overhead.
This is the call of the wild that all kiwis love
This natural call of the wild is deeply cherished by New Zealanders.
They know in their hearts they follow a quest
Individuals instinctively follow a quest, despite lacking clear explanations.
But the answers they just can't explain
The answers they seek remain elusive and unexplainable.
The challenge they seek in all of it's power
The pursuit of challenge holds immense power and defines a sailor.
That gave the sailor his name
It's this pursuit that gives identity to a sailor.
Where the heavens may open and swallow him whole
The uncertainty of facing dangers that might consume a person entirely.
And freeze his skin to the bone
Being exposed to extreme cold that chills one to the bone.
This is our own Tangaroa
Tangaroa represents the ocean, calling people back home.
Calling you home
Tangaroa continues calling individuals back home.
Calling you home
Reinforcing the call to return home.
Let them fill the sails before us
Encouraging others to set sail ahead of us.
And our black boat will rise once again
Emphasizing the resilience of their vessel despite challenges.
With the pride of our nation upon them
Carrying the pride of the nation, they embark on a journey.
They're racing to win
They're striving and competing with the aim to triumph.
Racing to win
The aspiration is to win and emerge victorious.
To be free is to fly like a bird in the sky
Freedom is likened to the flight of a bird in the sky.
Like a leaf you could float on an outgoing tide
It's akin to effortlessly floating on an outgoing tide.
When you're gone just leave nothing but footprints behind
Leaving only positive traces behind upon departure.
Our depth of the ocean as wide as the ocean
Our understanding of the ocean's depth mirrors its vastness.
Will shine like a beacon at night
It illuminates and guides, resembling a beacon in the dark.
Lift your eyes to horizons
Encouraging to look toward distant horizons.
Open your mind to the sea
Urging an open-minded approach towards the sea.
Let your heartbeat the pulse of the ocean
Aligning one's heartbeat with the rhythm of the ocean.
Tell me where are the lands of the free
Questioning the existence of truly free lands.
When you're racing to win
Reiteration of the query regarding the existence of free lands while striving to win, implying the search for freedom is ongoing amidst competition and challenges.
When you're racing to win
-Where are the lands of the free
-Racing to win
-When you're racing to win
-Where are the lands of the free
-Racing to win
-Where are the lands of the free
-Racing to win

-Racing to win

-Racing to win
-Where are the lands of the free
-Racing to win
