Pride Of New Zealand 

For we have triumphed over adversity
As we have lived our daily lives
We have endured the greatest hardships
And yet the pride of our nation
Has always been present by our sides

For the pride of our nation
Will always be present in the hearts
Of every one of us who call New Zealand home
And we will carry the pride of our nation with us
Wherever we may roam for the pride of our nation
Is in our hearts and in our soul

For as New Zealanders we are proud of our heritage
For we know where we have been
And as we acknowledge all of those who have fallen
To protect our nations liberty
New Zealand, stand together and hold your heads with pride

And as we unite together as a nation beneath the southern skies
We will look to the future were our hopes and dreams reside
As the pride of this great nation
Will always be present in our hearts
Of all New Zealanders as we live our daily lives
