Refuge In The Sea

When my bones hurt from working every day

I find my refuge in the sea

When I need to find some peace of mind

I find my refuge in the sea

When I need to feed my little family

I find my refuge in the sea

When I close my eyes each and every night

I find my refuge in the sea

Gonna pick up the ohana

And take them on down, down, down to the sea

Where we catch some crab and the I'a and pick da opihi

Remember my keiki, take we only need

What we need for our family

So all the people that come after us

Will have the same ability

When my bones hurt from working every day

I find my refuge in the sea

When I need to find some peace of mind

I find my refuge in the sea

When I need to feed my little family

I find my refuge in the sea

When I close my eyes each and every night

I find my refuge in the sea

Don't see the green dollar in blue the sea

It was only meant to feed your family

(Feed your family)

Because a lot of people want to be greedy

And take more than they really need

There's only a few who possess the knowledge

To teach others to live consciously

Listen to our kupunas manao how to live

How to live righteously

So grab your pole, you know where to go

And find your refuge in the sea

Grab your three prong and sing our song

And find your refuge in the sea

But remember the teachers of the past

So this ocean will last and last

And malama I ke kai

Mauka to makai

It's your responsibility

When my bones hurt
