JAM - Rewa Hard

REWA HARD

[HOOK]

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
From the early morning starts to wherever we are,
Three tribes, one journey, everybody plays a part,
If you know where we're from put your hands on your heart.

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
From the campfire stories to the dreams we chase hard,
Learning who we are, reaching for the stars,
That's the JAM experience, REWA HARD.

[VERSE 1]

First day camp and we didn't know names,
Different schools, different crews, different games,
Stepped off the bus, not sure what we'd find,
A few days later now we're one of a kind.

Challenges, laughter, pushing through fear,
Making new mates that we're still seeing here,
Learning to lead, learning to belong,
Didn't know it then but we were growing all along.

[HOOK]

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
From the early morning starts to wherever we are,
Three tribes, one journey, everybody plays a part,
If you know where we're from put your hands on your heart.

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
From the campfire stories to the dreams we chase hard,
Learning who we are, reaching for the stars,
That's the JAM experience, REWA HARD.

[VERSE 2]

Wednesday mornings when the sun wasn't up,
Some of us tired, some needing a lift up,
Breakfast together then straight to the session,
Sharing ideas, asking questions.

Different opinions but we learned respect,
Building connections we didn't expect,
Week after week we kept showing up,
Growing our confidence, filling our cup.

[VERSE 3]

Then came race day all around our town,
Discovering REWA and what goes down,
Waka of Caring helping families through,
Showing what a strong community can do.

Up at Matukutūreia looking over the land,
Learning the stories and trying to understand,
Business owners dropping knowledge for free,
Teaching us what our future could be.

[BRIDGE]

Every one of us has a dream inside,
Something worth protecting, something worth the ride,
A Slice of Heaven that's ours to defend,
With our whānau, our friends, right through to the end.

[FINAL VERSE]

Now we're standing here at prizegiving night,
Looking back on the journey and the lessons in sight,
Not the same people who walked through the door,
We've learned about our community and a whole lot more.

From REWA streets to the future ahead,
The stories we've gathered and the words we've said,
Fight the Good Fight, keep your vision clear,
Protect your Slice of Heaven year after year.

[FINAL HOOK]

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
From the early morning starts to wherever we are,
Three tribes, one journey, everybody plays a part,
If you know where we're from put your hands on your heart.

REWA HARD, yeah we came this far,
Fight the Good Fight wherever you are,
Protect your Slice of Heaven, reaching for the stars,
That's the JAM experience, REWA HARD
