\nLYRICS:<\/strong>
\nUa mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai’i
\nUa mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai’i
\n(The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness)<\/p>\n

If just for a day our king and queen
\nWould visit all these islands and saw everything
\nHow would they feel about the changes of our land<\/p>\n

Could you just imagine if they were around
\nAnd saw highways on their sacred grounds
\nHow would they feel about this modern city life<\/p>\n

Tears would come from each others eyes
\nAs they would stop to realize
\nThat our people are in great great danger now
\nHow, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry<\/p>\n

[Chorus:]<\/em><\/p>\n

Cry for the gods, cry for the people
\nCry for the land that was taken away
\nAnd then yet you’ll find, Hawai’i<\/p>\n

Could you just imagine they came back
\nAnd saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
\nHow would they feel about this modern city life<\/p>\n

Tears would come from each others eyes
\nAs they would stop to realize
\nThat our land is in great great danger now<\/p>\n

All the fighting that the king had done
\nTo conquer all these islands now these condominiums
\nHow would he feel if he saw Hawai’i nei
\nHow, would he feel, would his smile be content, then cry<\/p>\n

[Chorus]<\/em><\/p>\n

Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai’i
