VERSE 1
Thoughts well up in me
Of the highlands of Kōke‘e
Of the beauty of the land
And the swirling mists

CHORUS
Kalalau, a sacred land
In the fine, passing rains
Waimea is my lei of love
Never more to say goodbye.

VERSE 2
Returning to the east
In the sun, clear and hot
To the whispering seas
At Po‘ipu and Kōloa

VERSE 3
I sing of the beauty
In the far highlands
At Kōke‘e I have seen
The mists that swirl about
