From Cape Reinga to the Bluff in Invercargill - WG Wiperi copyright April 2023, Adapted for NZ from Woody Guthrie - 1940 - This land is your land - music resemblance Carter Family - 1933 - When the worlds on fire.
This land is your land and this land is my land
From Cape Reinga to the Bluff in Invercargill
From the Tasman Sea to Great Pacific
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that State 1 Highway
I saw above me that long white cloud
There before me endless fields and mountain tops
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To our sparkling sands and our deepest caverns
All around me a voice is sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the sheep are roaming and the dust clouds rolling
The birds enchanting, the air fills with song
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and this land is my land
From Cape Reinga to the Bluff in Invercargill
From the Tasman Sea to Great Pacific
This land was made for you and me

London Town
Coppers on the pass road, Cabby’s in the drove
Double-decker buses going up and down every road
Tourist and their cameras, shooting up a storm
And if you really give a dam the queen is on her throne
Oh London town what a crappy revelation
Dirty cobblestones and black rat infestation
The river Thames is the place to go
If you want to watch effluent flow
Where seasoned gypsies live on barges
And council workers enforce permit charges
Cannels are cluttered with would be misfits
Calling themselves the coastline biscuits
Cross my eyes and slap me silly
For wanting to come to this ancient city
And set my watch against Big Ben
Try to cross Trafalgar Square
Oh hail a cab and try to talk cockney
End up somewhere down by Bryndwr
Grab myself a local brew spend an hour trapped in a loo
Tried a love potion at wicker’s corner
Now it’s hard to walk straight with this crazy boner
Wow! night life here is really wild
The girls want to step me out for a fight
Lights are flashing sirens howling
Need a feed cause my stomachs growling
But won’t be long I’m flying outta here
And these handcuff s will make a great souvenir

Walter Wiperi on Terry Shaw Wellington Access Radio Show 2011
Terry Shaw Radio interview with Walter Wiperi Song writer.
Morning Rush - is a lyrical collaboration with a friend Lio in 2012 Wellington NZ.
Korea
I am like the dragon fly hovering over a lake
나는 호수를 서성이는 잠자리
You a wonderment beheld me, made me
어머니, 나를 감싸고 만드는 그 위대함
I stand in the shadow of great belief
Every step you gave to me
나는 그녀가 살아온 큰 믿음 그 그림자 속에 서있다
Like a dutiful daughter who listens
마치 말 잘 듣는 딸과 같이
Listens with her tears, listens with her smile, listens with her heart
눈물을 흘리며, 웃으며, 가슴으로 그녀의 말을 새긴다
The wind and sun come quickly
바람과 해는 빠르고
And call me child of Korea
나는 한국의 작은 아이
The moon and stars shine softly
South of the line to where home is smiling
남쪽 수평선 웃음짓는 고향으로 달과 별은 반짝인다
I crouch on the ground like a baby
Wrestle with feelings that shake my body
I cry for my parents far away
Who place flowers and tribute for my safety
꽃을 놓고 나를 위해 기도하는 그녀
몸을 떨며 버둥거리는 웅크린 아이와 같이
멀리 떨어진 그녀를 위해 울다

A Picture of Mine
Inspired by story from Rosa String Works; Story and song is at 1:25.18, I do recommend watching the whole video as very good. However you can fast forward to the story at, 1hour, 25minutes and 18seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfMHjy_zSCM
A Picture
A picture of mine
I’m hoping to find
Someone in the crowd that night,
Caught a picture of me
With my wife
For when journeying home
Things went real wrong
An accident happened
And took her way
And now she’s just gone
So I’m asking of all
Who were at the concert that night
Please help me to find
A moment in time
A picture of mine
We lived our lives
Like everyone else
The good and the bad
Happy and sad
One day at a time
She never cried
When things went wrong
She simply believed
That we would find another way
To make it right
So I’m asking of all
Who were there that night
Please help me to find
A moment in time
A picture of mine

This song is geared towards the HEART and PASSION of fans.
Rugby Chant
The moon calls out
The sun beats a drum
New Zealand's finest rise
AB's march to the drum that beats
The AB's beats them all
AB'sbeats them all
AB's beats them all
New Zealand's finest standing tall
The AB's beats them all

Other inspiring and/or descriptive words can replace any number of lyrics ie: NZ's strongest - bravest - loudest - proudest - honest - hardest - humble - meek - wairua - spiritual - first - nationalists - liberal etc... standing - raging - fighting - grieving etc... tall - brave - high - wise - great - proud - full etc...
The character representation can encompass many attributes, outcomes and actions both in English and in other country languages (German - Dutch - Reo etc...), also any age group from conception to elderly and even into death.

Past the gates of hell
Past the gates of hell
Verse 1
Heaven is a past the gates of hell
Through all the trials people tell
Over mountains of hopeless despair
That’s why Jesus meets us here
Heaven is a over valleys wide
All ways seemingly out of sight
Past the rocks of destruction and death
That’s why Jesus meets us here
Chorus
Heaven’s to higher place
To make it on our own
But God’s still calling child come on home
Where Heaven’s treasures are yours to behold
In God’s love and glory as it continually unfolds
That’s why Jesus, that’s why Jesus meets us here
That’s why Jesus, that’s why Jesus meets us here
Verse 2
He’s much more than just a friend
He’s much more than just a guide
He’s the one that paid the price
That we might all have life
Through His blood we are purged
Through His body we gain life
And through His sacrifice within
Cleanses us of sin

Soldiers Lamentation
Soldiers Lamentation
Un-ending days x 4
Brothers when you this I will be dead
Not Dead, as in not living
Not Dead, as in not breathing
Not Dead, as in not able to move
I Died, on the battlefield of grief
I Died, on the excrements of fear
I Died, on the pollution of ignorance
I Died, the most deadliest of ways
I simply ceased, to be me
My War, was with myself and I lost
Not with an enemy, I did not know
Not with an enemy, I could not see
Not with an enemy, I could not hear
I lost the respect of life and it’s potential
I lost the dream of expectation and it’s joy
I lost the ambition of existence and it’s simplicity
I lost more than I thought I could ever lose
I lost ME
Un-ending days x 4
The wind shall blow
The rain will fall
The thunder will roar and roar and roar
And the lightening will crack the sky,
The lightening will crack the sky

JOY (Heart Beat) Chile Spanish
Tu corazón
No es difícil darse cuenta mujer, que tu destino es estar conmigo
La sonrisa que ilumina mi cielo, donde sea que estemos
Siento la alegría de tu corazón x 2
Tu voz es el sonido más dulce que yo he escuchado
Tu vida llena mi mente con maravillas e inunda mi universo
Chorus
Cuando estamos juntos el mundo se detiene
Luego me besas y se siente tan bien
Cuando te acercas mi corazón se detiene
Siento la alegría de tu corazón
Eres dulce como el manjar
PTCHOOO BabyYou’re sweet as ice
Despiertas en la mañana pidiendo más
Break me in the morning when you give me rise
Tú me vuelves loco
PTCHOOO Baby You shake my mind
Tú eres un destello que escapa con un suspiro
You’re sparkle in my breath that escapes with a sigh
Relájate, vamos con calma, solo deja que fluya amor
Way down take it slow, don’t try to make it happen just go with flow
Cuando pienso en nosotros, es tandifícil de explicar
When I think about the two of us it’s so hard to explain
Que algosea tan puro y verdadero, como la lluvia en el océano
That something so pure and true as the ocean driven rain
Siento la alegría de tu corazón x 2
Un ángel solo para mí, es lo quetú eres.
An angel just for me is what you really are
Una divina hermosura que el mundo debe ver
A vision of heavenly beauty the world has yet to see
