Lei on the Wind

Lyrics

Verse 1
From Oʻahu to Kauaʻi
I feel that salt in my skin
Maui wakes with the moonlight
And the trade winds rollin' in
Lanai through the morning
Molokaʻi soft and wide
Big Island keep on breathin'
With the lava deep inside

Pre-Chorus
Hear the waves call my name
From the reef to the bay
Every road leads home
When the ukulele plays

Chorus
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Sea and sky, you hold me
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Island life, you told me
Palm trees bend, hearts stay free
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
(oh Hawaii)
(oh Hawaii)

Verse 2
There’s a honu by the shoreline
Slow and sure in the blue
Little nēnē in the grasses
Like they know what to do
ʻIʻiwi in the lehua
Red fire in the green
People share the open table
With a smile between the scenes

Pre-Chorus
Hear the waves call my name
From the reef to the bay
Every road leads home
When the ukulele plays

Chorus
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Sea and sky, you hold me
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Island life, you told me
Palm trees bend, hearts stay free
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
(oh Hawaii)
(oh Hawaii)

Bridge
From shore to shore, we gather
With the children and the rain
Old songs in every language
Wash the worries clean again
Coral glow beneath the water
Canoes cut through the dawn
One island heart, one family
Till the last wave carries on

Chorus
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Sea and sky, you hold me
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
Island life, you told me
Palm trees bend, hearts stay free
Hawaii, oh Hawaii
(oh Hawaii)
(oh Hawaii)
