Which way did you go? its so far to reach you yet is the same path as mine’s yet is the same path as mine’s Give me your hand and light my way your shining smile is so beautiful makes me forget all sadness And to be honest, many years has passed and we’ve all followed different directions still, never forget what that old wise man taught us To respect the land, for it’s a gift from the creator who looks after and watches us from above to guide our footsteps Speak your mother tongue as it might disappear tomorrow and it will bring you strength when you find yourself in far away lands love is the only way to find real happiness don’t hesitate, don’t lose your faith don’t let anyone to take that away from you Which way did you go? its so far to reach you yet is the same path as mine’s yet is the same path as mine’s Give me your hand and light my way your shining smile is so beautiful makes me forget all sadness If we were to join our thoughts in love we would be able to make of the world a better place "In our globalised, computerised world, music can bring us awareness of who we are, our history and our values and our connection to nature. I bring what my grandfather poured into me.” - Yoyo Tuki
