Lyrics

Ea, rise up
Awaken
E ala ē
Our people have awakened
Our people have risen
We waking up and it's one by one
E ala mau because our time has come
Mai ho'i hou i ka hiamoe
They're raising corn but we raised on poi
E kū ana nō ku'u mauna (Kū'ē)
E kū ana no ku'u 'āina (Kū'ē)
Kia'i mauna a kū'ē
Kia'i 'āina a kū'ē
Kia'i loko a kū'ē
Kia'i honua a kū'ē, kū'ē, kū'ē
Po'ohū ka lae i ke kālā
Maulua nō ke kū'ai
Imua e nā pōki'i
A inu mau i ka wai 'awa'awa
We waking up and it's one by one
E ala mau because our time has come
Mai hoʻi hou i ka hiamoe
They're raising corn but we raised on poi
Pehea kākou e lanakila ai
It's only what we do as a people
That really counts at this point
Ma o ka nui o ke aloha e pono ai
We waking up and it's one by one
E ala mau because our time has come
Mai ho'i hou i ka hiamoe
They're raising corn but we raised on poi
We waking up (One by one)
E ala mau (Time has come)
Mai ho'i hou (Hiamoe)
Theyʻre raising corn, auē
Come, stand with the people
Work together, unify in lōkahi
Get on this canoe
Because this canoe is ready to sail
E holo kākou
Mahalo
