Hawai'i (The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness) 
If just for a day our king and queen 
Would visit all these islands and saw everything 
How would they feel about the changes of our land 
Could you just imagine if they were around 
And saw highways on their sacred grounds 
How would they feel about this modern city life 
Tears would come from each others eyes 
As they would stop to realize 
That our people are in great great danger now 
How, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry [Chorus:] 
Cry for the gods, cry for the people 
Cry for the land that was taken away 
And then yet you'll find, 
Hawai'i Could you just imagine they came back 
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks 
How would they feel about this modern city life 
Tears would come from each others eyes 
As they would stop to realize 
That our land is in great great danger now 
All the fighting that the king had done 
To conquer all these islands now these condominiums 
How would he feel if he saw 
Hawai'i nei 
How, would he feel, would his smile be content, then cry [Chorus] 
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o 
Hawai'i Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o
