E kore e taea e te whenua kotahi ji te raramga I te whariki
Kia mōhio tātou
Mā te mahi o nga whenu, mā te mahi tahi o nga kairaranga
Ka oti tēnei whāriki
I te otinga
me titiro ki ngā pai ka puta mai
Ā tana wā me titiro i ngā raranga i makere
nā te mea he kōrero anō kei reira
The tapestry of understanding cannot be woven by one strand alone
Only by the working together of weavers,
Will such a tapestry be completed.
When it has been completed
Let us look at the good that comes from it
In time take a look at those dropped stitches
For there is a message there also.
