Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down at Nuku station
The sun shines bright
Sandaun mountains watching
Morning light
From the land so strong
Where dreams begin
Nuku Teachers Training College
We stand within
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
[Verse 2]
Books in our hands
But our hearts lead first
Learning how to guide each child’s thirst
Voices from the village
Calling our name
We go back with knowledge
Carrying the flame
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
[Bridge]
From this classroom to the wider land
We will serve with open hands (hey!)
Every lesson
Every song
Keeps our people proud and strong
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
Down at Nuku station
The sun shines bright
Sandaun mountains watching
Morning light
From the land so strong
Where dreams begin
Nuku Teachers Training College
We stand within
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
[Verse 2]
Books in our hands
But our hearts lead first
Learning how to guide each child’s thirst
Voices from the village
Calling our name
We go back with knowledge
Carrying the flame
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
[Bridge]
From this classroom to the wider land
We will serve with open hands (hey!)
Every lesson
Every song
Keeps our people proud and strong
[Chorus]
We are one
From the rivers to the rising sun
Heart to heart
Our journey’s just begun
Hand in hand
We’ll teach the young
Nuku College
Sing it loud
We are one (we are one)
Style of Music
Mid-tempo inspirational pop with island flair; warm acoustic guitar and light ukulele on the verses, palm-muted electric and tom-driven groove lifting into a big singalong chorus; male vocals leading a mixed student choir, call-and-response ad-libs, bright pad swells on the hook, and a key change or final tag vamp to end on a proud, anthemic peak, bright, strong
