​
​When the sun rolls in 
To kiss my skin
And remind me how good it’s been

E gali o te la
(The sun is beautiful)
E gali o te aho 
(The day is beautiful)
E gali o te fenua
(This land is beautiful)

It’s just this sunlight creepin’ in 
Onto my oversized T-shirt
I’m counting blessings at breakfast
View from my window I’m breathless

E gali o te la
(The sun is beautiful)
E gali o te aho 
(The day is beautiful)
E gali o te fenua
(This land is beautiful)
E gali o te aho 
(The day is beautiful)

Ooh can you feel the sun
Every worry imma let go 
Wanna run and tell everyone
A new morning has come

Have to pinch myself every so often 
Take in the colours at full saturation
Lanu meamata, lanu hehega, lanu moana 
(Green, yellow, blue)
E kalaga e au 
(I’m calling out)
Kikila! Kikila! E manaia!
(Look! Look! It’s beautiful!)
