Kawela Bay - Words & music by Matthew Puaali`i Beamer

Driving down the countryside there’s a place along the ride
You can take a load off your mind
There beside the open sea by reefs of serenity
Kawela Bay, young and old can play
Kawela Bay, eie

Kahuku plantation history, Pūpūkea mountain to the sea
Kawela sits alone majestically
Far away from city lights her skies are filled with starry nights
Kawela Bay, takes my breath away
Kawela Bay, eie

Caught in the traffic, I was thinking just the other day…
How cool the air must be at Kawela Bay
Away from all the noise of city life
A place peaceful and carefree

So when life gets you down you’re feeling low
People know where to go
Forget about your cares in the country
Golden sand, peaceful sea, floating sun, a gentle breeze
Kawela Bay, young and old can play
Kawela Bay, eie
