Hamakua

(앨범: My Name Is Bear - 2017)

Before Hāmākua
Who the hell were ya?
And do you know by now?
Remember the waiting
For water falling
And concentrating on myself
The quiet ōhi'a
Gave me the fever
To push through cracks and reach for light

'Oe kou ka la'a
E hana I ola honua
Honua, honua

Before 7 Feathers
Gave me his sweater
I'd be the brave and bear the cold
I found myself seeking
A false understanding
Of what is truth and honesty
I kept on stretching out
All of these blessings
And learned to scream above the rain

'Oe kou ka la'a
E hana I ola honua
Honua, honua

Before my beloved
Took me for granted
I would face the lions' den
Through our indecision
I discovered my medicine
People stay and people leaving
For what a better lesson
Than to be open to the messages
Coming through in spurts and mumbles

'Oe kou ka la'a
E hana I ola honua
Honua, honua
