Te Karanga by Aro
This song was written from a hard place, when something happened that we wish never did and that has been heartbreaking... but, there is always a love that gifts hope, and with love, a way to find the path forward. And we choose to do so!
Recorded, mixed, mastered and produced by Scott Seabright Gospel choir and accompanying band - House of Misfits

Lyrics
Nothing stays the same
When everything has changed
It’s a lingering pain
We should always find a way
When love calls
Karanga mai
Māku koe e whai
Karanga mai rā
Māku koe e whai
Tukua kia rere
Ka kore kua kore
He mamae roa
Whaia ko te ara tika
When love calls
Karanga mai
Māku koe e whai
Karanga mai rā
Māku koe e whai
When love calls
