Hawaiʻi We Will Return -
Words & Music by: E. Kealiʻi Blaisdell |
| Imagine there's a place, a beauty beyond compare And of people, who'd give their love to you and me A place where it used to be to raise your family But now Hawaiʻi, is not Hawaiʻi anymore From the Koʻolau's to the Waiʻanae range we have missed you From Kokeʻe to Maunakea this was our home From our valleys to the ocean is where my people roamed We will return to you again Hawaiʻi was once our kingdom, our lands were vast and green And now there's buildings and people everywhere Annexation was the key to overthrow our monarchy That's why Hawaiʻi is not Hawaiʻi anymore |

The Hawaiian people have lost everything to big business and government and the United States seems to have forgotten about our native people. Copyright 2005 |
