These Islands

by Danny Couch

 

Have you seen these Islands

Have you seen the beauty of this land

Do you know it's people

Brothers, sisters walking hand in hand

Have you seen the ocean

Miles and miles of crystal deep blue sea

Can you smell the flowers

Fill the air with fragrances for free

 

 *This is aloha

   This is aloha

   This is aloha

   This land of Hawaiʻi

 

Have you felt the power

Mountain craters throwing lava in the air

Or its green-swept beauty

Of each island, blossoms everywhere

Have you felt its spirit

Ancient gods, their mana still is here

You will love these Islands

Nothing in the world can compare

 

 *repeat

 

Have you felt the power

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

Mountain craters throwing lava in the air

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

Or its green swept beauty

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

Of each island, blossoms everywhere

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

 

Have you felt its spirit

Ancient gods, their mana still is here

Colored rainbows stretch across the sky

Waterfalls so high

Mountains make you cry

 

You will love these Islands

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

Nothing in the world can compare

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

If you touch the spirit

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

Then the gift of love will lead you here

(ʻO kēia ke aloha)

 

 *repeat

 

Have you seen these Islands
