Intro
Aloha
Aloha kakahiaka
Aloha
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 1
Woke up on the warm sand
With no plans at all
I see the palm trees sway
Drinking from a green coconut I found near the wall
Pre-Chorus
Everything is better here
Nothing to fear
Just crystal water clear
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Finding my own space
Peace in this place
Love on every face
Post-Chorus
A hui hou
A hui hou
A-a-a hui hou
Verse 2
Mele on the radio
Slack key guitar strings humming low
Surfers hitting big waves
Checking out the colorful reef down below
Pre-Chorus
Everything is better here
Nothing to fear
Just crystal water clear
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Finding my own space
Peace in this place
Love on every face
Bridge
Blue sky
Warm sky
Clear sky
I ka nana ana i ka nalu
Listening to the trade winds blow
Watching how the hibiscus flowers grow
Nana i ka nani
Everything is alright
Feeling light
Verse 3
Barefoot on the lava rock
Way past the old dock
Looking for a pineapple
I forgot to even check the ticking clock
Pre-Chorus
Everything is better here
Nothing to fear
Just crystal water clear
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono

Peace in this place
Love on every face

Verse 4
Well I strolled on down to the luau pits
Eating kalua pig until I lost my wits
The poi was smooth and the salt was coarse
I rode a giant turtle like a little tiny horse
Ono ka ai and I'm feeling fine
Walking on the beach in the morning sunshine
Saw a man in a grass skirt playing a horn
Freshest mango you ever saw since you were born
Pre-Chorus
Everything is better here
Nothing to fear
Just crystal water clear
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Finding my own space
Peace in this place
Love on every face
Post-Chorus
A hui hou
A hui hou
A-a-a hui hou
Talking Blues
Now I'm sitting here watching the sunset
Haleakala looks like a dream you haven't had yet
Met a gecko named Frank he had a lot to say
Told me don't worry about the troubles of the day
Ho'okipa mean hospitality my friend
The road to Hana never has to really end
Just take a left at the volcano and a right at the sea
You'll be living just as loose and as happy as me
Verse 5
Paddle out on the outrigger canoe
Salt on my skin and the sky is so blue
Catch a break at the edge of the bay
Watch the dolphins jumping in the ocean spray
E pili mai come closer to the shore
I don't think I'm going back home anymore
Found a secret waterfall tucked in the trees
Feeling that gentle Hawaiian breeze
Pre-Chorus
Everything is better here
Nothing to fear
Just crystal water clear
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Finding my own space
Peace in this place
Love on every face
Instrumental Solo
Chorus
Ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono
Living on the island pace

Finding my own space
Peace in this place
Love on every face

Outro
No worry
No chicken skin
Just the trade winds
Ke Akua pu a hui hou
Yeah that's it
