Team Song – ‘My Heritage’ – Nicholas Homes

Stage Setting Specials

Leading: Nick

lines of the lyrics:

INTRO: Teepa
Tihei Mauri Ora . . . [Lead in with Maori whakapapa followed by other groups as appropriate]

I have arrived, but how did I get here?
If the legend scares ya
Yeah I dare ya to listen up close
For a dynamic dose of my story
Of me and those who went before me

My history’s affected by things unseen
My blood is mixed between the orange and the green
Warring factions still had some attractions
And now a lot of very different people
Flow through my blood stream
Yeah, and I have no regrets
But they left me with some issues
I need to address
Like the Irish temper
The English pride
And all these other issues standing on the side
Philosophies waxing
Morality conflicting
Getting it together
My toughest endeavour ever
All these issues but I have only one
Through all this time
What have we become?

Tag: No reira, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou Katoa



Please Note: Teepa will be doing his Whakapapa at the beginning of the Rap then Nick will do their Rap and end with Teepa again

1st lines of lyrics:

I'm looking through a box my dad just sent me
Filled with hand me downs and things he once wore
He passed along his blessings and his curses
But mainly scraps and nothing more ... no nothing more
And I pray to God his shoes will never fit me
And I pray this isn't my inheritance
His dirty t-shirts and all his girlfriend's mini skirts
Are the things I now resent ... Lord I resent

Last lines of lyrics (how song ends)

Chorus
Old man didn't gimme much more than second hand clothing
But Jesus wants more for me than second hand clothing, second hand clothing



After Dance

And a little bitty bit of Red Indian bone

Mix with yellow till it fits
If you lump it all together
Well you've got a recipe
For a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true
You know, you know

Big enough to take the world
And all it's got
Stir it for a hundred years or more
Turning out multi-coloured people by the score
