lyrics

Niu Wave (Niu Wave)
Tides rise, rising situation
Cruel Wave (Cruel Wave)
Lose crops, hope sometimes go with them

Verse 1
Jah guide I to (Govern how I treat all)
Stay humble, give our thanks and praises
Faaoti (Le utu I le fai mea)
Many people mean repatriation

Chorus
Niu Wave (Niu Wave)
Intrusion taint the (Village Water)
Niu Wave (Cruel Wave)
Plantation washing all the sea wall

Verse 2
Can we open hearts and arms for people
Betwixt the devil in the deep blue sea
Rising tide, affect all coastal people
Atoll a tragic way to let go
