Em Bm
Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
C7+
in a time where the culture could die
Am D7
if you take away the water, our precious wai, wai
Em Bm
Oh Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
C7+
in a time where the people could cry
Am
cause they're abusing the 'āina
D7
A`ole mālama
Em
So let's not be
Bm
a hunger with greed
C7+
its time we plant the seed

and remember true Hawai`i

Kanaka Maoli
Em
don't let it die
Bm
don't say that we didn't try
C7+
to break out through the lies
Am D7
and look in to the inside Akua guide I
G
Like `opelu in the sea
Bm
a school we must be
Am D7
planting kalo to feed our family

singing our song to help each other along

Em Bm C7+ Am D7
Ohhh ...Ohhh Ohh
Em
Well we can talk about sustainability
Bm
but most of this land is leased to companies
C7+
who could care less about the people and the land they grow upon
Am D7
just becomes a chemical farm they're doing harm
Em
and what have these companies done for us anyway
Bm
most of the food they grow just get sent away
C7+
to another place and they say it to our face
Am D7
If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days but our way
Em
we are here to make our stand today
Bm
and there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way
C7+
don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive
Am D7
but everyone is entitled to what they believe
so I'll be chanting
Em Bm
Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai
C7+
in a time where we look through the lies
Am
stare them in the eyes and told them that
D7
this truth wears no disguise
G
Like `opelu in the sea
Bm
a school we must be
Am D7
planting kalo to feed our family
G Am
singing our song to help each other along
