Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'I'ai In a time where the culture could die If you take away the water, our precious wai, wai
Oh Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'I'ai In a time where the people could cry Cause they are abusing the 'aina 'A'ole malama
So let's not feed A hunger with greed Its time we plant the seed And remember true Hawai'I Kanaka Maoli Don't let it die Don't say that we didn't try To break out through the lies And look in to the inside Akua guide I
Like 'opelu in the sea A school we must be Planting kalo to feed our family Singing a song to help each other along Keiki O Ka 'Aina Stand Strong
Well we can talk about sustainability But most of this land is leased to companies Who could care less about the people And the land they grow upon Just becomes a chemical farm They're doing harm And what have these companies done for us anyway Most of the food they grow just get sent away To another place and they say it to our face If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days But our way We are here to make our stand today And there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way Don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive But everyone is entitled to what they believe So I'll be chanting
Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'I'ai In a time where we look through the lies Stare them in the eyes and told them that This truth wears no disguise
Like 'opelu in the sea A school we must be Planting kalo to feed our family Singing a song to help each other along Keiki O Ka 'Aina Stand Strong
