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

Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i

Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
