Lawrence Kalani – `O Kanaka Maoli lyrics
`O Kanaka Maoli
Yearning for Sovereignty, asking Humanity
Right a wrong that was done so long ago
They've taken away our Land, Replaced by a Stranger's plan
Now the time is right for us to take a stand
Chorus:
`O Kanaka Maoli, `O ka `Aina (O Hawai`i)
You mustn't give up the right control your Destiny (Can't you see)
`O Kanaka Maoli, `O ka `Aina (O Hawai`i)
You got to stand for your right, Hawaiian Sovereignty
They've taken away our Queen, replaced by a stranger's dream
For a right that was so wrong so long ago
The tears from another time, continue in this eyes of mines
And the need to see things right for the time is NOW
Chorus
Yearning for Sovereignty, asking Humanity
To right a wrong that was done so long ago
The tears from another, continue in this eyes of mines
And the need to see things right for the time is Now
Chorus Repeat last line three times
Yearning for Sovereignty, asking Humanity
Right a wrong that was done so long ago
They've taken away our Land, Replaced by a Stranger's plan
Now the time is right for us to take a stand
Chorus:
`O Kanaka Maoli, `O ka `Aina (O Hawai`i)
You mustn't give up the right control your Destiny (Can't you see)
`O Kanaka Maoli, `O ka `Aina (O Hawai`i)
You got to stand for your right, Hawaiian Sovereignty
They've taken away our Queen, replaced by a stranger's dream
For a right that was so wrong so long ago
The tears from another time, continue in this eyes of mines
And the need to see things right for the time is NOW
Chorus
Yearning for Sovereignty, asking Humanity
To right a wrong that was done so long ago
The tears from another, continue in this eyes of mines
And the need to see things right for the time is Now
Chorus Repeat last line three times
