"Mana Ka Leo" in Hawaii'in means The Power of Voice
lyrics
From the top of Mauna Kea
And down to the Sea
I heard the Wind's whisper
Calling to me
I sat for days and listened
To her sacred plea
Where have my children gone?
Where are they sleeping?
Return them home.
Down in the valley
We'd dug up their bones
and for the sake of study
Disturbed their wise souls
and took from the trees the wisdom
of their beloved Cheifs
and forgot the tales of wonder
and humility
So the Wind cries
Where have my children gone?
Where have my children gone?
Where are they sleeping?
Where are they sleeping?
Return them home
Remember
In your voice there is power
In your breath there is power
In your thought there is power
In your heart there is power
In our voice there is power
In our breath there is power
In our thought there is power
In our heart there is power!
Mana Ka Leo
Mana Ka Leo
Mana Ka Leo
Mana Ka Leo
