Keiki O Ka Aina

Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'i'ai
In a time where the culture could die
If you take away the water, our precious waiwai

Oh Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'i'ai
In a time where the people could cry
Cause they are abusing the 'āina
A'ole mālama

Let's not feed
A hunger with greed
Its time we plant the seed
And remember true Hawai'i
Kanaka Maoli
Don't let it die
Don't say we didn't try
To break out through the lies
And look in to the inside Akua guide I

Like 'opelu in the sea
A school we must be
Planting kalo to feed our family
Singing a song
To help each other along

Keiki O Ka 'Āina
Stand Strong

And like 'opelu in the sea
A school we must be
Planting kalo to feed our family
Singing a song
To help each other along

Keiki O Ka 'Āina
Stand Strong

Oooh Ooh Oooh
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

We talk about sustainability
But most of this land is leased to companies
Who could care less about the people
And the land they grow upon
Just becomes a chemical farm
They're doing harm
What have these companies done for us anyway
Most of the food they grow just get sent away
To another place and they say it to our face
If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days
Auwe

We are here to make our stand today
And I know there's a lot of people out there who feel the same way
Don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive
But everyone is entitled to what they believe
I'll be chanting

Mana 'Ai, mahalo for the pa'i'ai
In a time where we look through the lies
Stare them in the eyes and told them that
This truth wears no disguise

And like 'opelu in the sea
A school we must be
Planting kalo to feed our family
Singing a song to help each other along
Keiki O Ka 'Āina
Stand Strong

And like 'opelu in the sea
A school we must be
Planting kalo to feed our family
Singing a song to help each other along

Keiki O Ka Āina
Stand Strong
(Keiki O Āina)
Keiki O Āina
Stand Strong
