Nā Moku ʻo nā Laʻau
How is life in a beat-up world?
Can you still smile with your eyes
Or are your lips just curled?
Could it be like when we first met
When we'd just left the institution
And were both in debt?
And you said you were lost
And, so, you let me take your hand
We waded 'cross the sand
Unto a place that soon would make us understand
Nā Moku 'o nā La'au
Ho'o hua nui i 'ike
Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie
So everybody shook their heads
They said that we were young
And deviating from our threads
It could be foolishness or pride
They're not at all like us
They don't know what we feel inside
So, we would feel our best
When we would see each other's eyes
For we could see the skies
And then we knew that we would never compromise
Nā Moku 'o nā La'au
Ho'o hua nui i 'ike
Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie
Now you're a bird who cannot sing
You've seen the compass and the path
But you're not following
You don't belong in worlds between
The magic that you seem to hold
Is one not often seen
So, I will take your hand
And lead us to the Bodhi Tree
The one down by the sea
And let its sacred spell engulf and cover you and me
Nā Moku 'o nā La'au
Ho'o hua nui i 'ike
Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie
Nā Moku 'o nā La'au
Ho'o hua nui i 'ike
Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie
Nā Moku 'o nā La'au
Ho'o hua nui i 'ike
Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie

Paua Pa'u lau
Lupa lupa ho, pua ka'ie
