"Kaili'ohe" lyrics - JUSTIN YOUNG

Kaili'ohe e, he hoku nani ka'ika'i
I ka po a me ke ao
He ao malamalama

Kaili'ohe e, he hoku nani ka'ika'i
I ka po a me ke ao
He ao malamalama

Kihawahineluluonamoku
Ho'ea mai la na nalu hou
'Ikea ka pono e ka maka

Kihawahineluluonamoku
Ho'ea mai la na nalu hou
'Ikea ka pono e ka maka

Makaweliweli e, e ha'aheo mai la
Kou ala I luna o ka mauna ki'e
E'imi na'auao ko nei au

Makaweliweli e, e ha'aheo mai la
Kou ala I luna o ka mauna ki'e
E'imi na'auao ko nei au

Kaili'ohe, beautiful guiding star
Through Hawaii's days and nights
Always teaching light

Many new waves found the shores
Your eyes always recognized truth

Your path has reached high upon the mountain
Even today we strive for such wisdom
