[The Meeting House]
In a sacred place
Where minds meet
The free word is allowed
Everyone is equal in Te Wharenui
There are no boundaries, no limits
All people are welcome
In this peaceful place
Aotearoa * you are welcoming
Like Te Wharenui
Those who come to you
Are reborn free
Shackles are broken, hands untied
Brother becomes brother
Equal in the plentiful garden
Hands that guide long canoes
Keep the sacred flame
They carve their history
They sing their songs
Guiding the young nation
This young dominion found
Built on strong spirit
And immense sacrifice
Forever will your guiding light shine
With braveness and hope
A beacon of great fortitude
