Nia sets my soul on fire
Justice enforce punishment
Too young, a cry her only defence
Nia sets my soul on fire
Justice enforce punishment
Too little seen unknown, known too late

I see red, I see red, I see red, I see red
Oh, do all a favour, throw out the key

[Chorus]
On eagles' wings
Lay your body to sleep
On eagles' wings
May you sleep
May you sleep

Nia, te taonga, tangihia
Tiaho mai te pono
Hoki atu raa ki o Matua Tiipuna
Nia, te taonga, tangihia
Tiaho mai te pono
Hoki atu raa ki a Io Matua

I see red, I see red, I see red, I see red
Oh, do all a favour, throw out the key

[Chorus]
On eagles' wings
Lay your body to sleep
On eagles' wings
May you sleep
May you sleep

[Chorus]
On eagles' wings
Lay your body to sleep
On eagles' wings
May you sleep
May you sleep

I see red, I see red, I see red, I see red
Oh, do all a favour, throw out the key

She's gone to that place
That big wide open space
Never again will she grace us
With her beautiful face
Go to them, go to them, go to them
Go to them, go to them, go to them

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
On eagles' wings
Lay your body to sleep
On eagles' wings
May you sleep
May you sleep
