Mo'ai


Oh the great Mo'ai
With an eye on the island of Rapa Nui
Bring us fortune
Bring us wealth


Back toward the sea of spirit
Spirit of the great ancestors
Stand at the edges of Rapa Nui
And guard us from the evil spirits


Let the spirits of the dead rise
Of the ones buried under the stone of ahu
When the souls come back to life
No danger may be in our way
