HERE WE ARE! (whole cast song)
Here we are!
Hatched from our mound
Whilst the castle broods
Like a salmon;
On its gravel nest
It brings us life
Brings us life
With a single breath.
Chorus:
Where the waters meet
On the edge of the shore
Hear the murmuring voices
Of nine centuries and more.
Hear the songs of the tides
The four tides of Christchurch
That lap and glide
On the edge of the shore.
Rise up and breathe
Fresh salt air
For here at the heart
Of the rivers
At the door to the sea
Waters meet
The source
Out of which
All things grow.
Chorus:
Where the waters meet
On the edge of the shore
Hear the murmuring voices
Of nine centuries and more.
Hear the songs of the tides
The four tides of Christchurch
That lap and glide
On the edge of the shore.
Where waters meet
On this island shore
People tell stories
Of nine centuries and more
Of stone on a hillside
And miraculous beam
Strange records of history
Of which we’ll all dream.
Chorus:
Where the waters meet
On the edge of the shore
Hear the murmuring voices
Of nine centuries and more.
Hear the songs of the tides
The four tides of Christchurch
That lap and glide
On the edge of the shore.

WHERE THE WATERS MEET
Where the waters meet on the edge of the shore
Hear the murmuring voices of nine centuries and more.
Hear the songs of the tides

Hatched from our mound
Whilst the castle broods like a salmon;
On its gravel nest, it brings us life
Brings us life with a single breath.
Rise up and breathe fresh salt air
For here at the heart of the rivers
At the door to the sea
Waters meet the source
Out of which all things grow.
