Sam’s Creek

Sam’s Creek

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, you’re the wisdom that we seek
As snow does fall on mountains tall, we gather at your feet

Sam’s Creek, Sams Creek, you’re the mother of us all
You kneel and smile and play with us, Kahurangi you are called

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, beat loud your water drums
For miners do encircle you, they’re adding up their sums

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, they thrust into your side
Where weka’s screech and tuis teach there’s nowhere left to hide

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, they grind you into dust
With machines that roar into your core that we’ll never, ever trust

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, we’re the watchmen on your tracks
With women tough and hidden stuff, we drive the miners back  

Sam’s Creek, Sam’s Creek, your siege has just begun
As battle calls ring from your walls, we hear the waters drum

Sams Creek, Sam’s Creek
We hear your water drum

Sams Creek, Sam’s Creek
You’re the mother of us all x2
