We are the roots, we are this aina
Protect this land, we are its soldiers
Fight hand in hand, we through with conquerors
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away
We teach our keiki e aloha ʻaina
Protect this land, we are its warriors
Fight hand in hand, we through with conquerors
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away

I look up at another high rise
Too much people in the city
They fill their cup with a sweet, sweet wine
(The stratums of Kane stand)
ka wēkiu o nā kai ʻewalu
(As the pinnacle of the 8 ocean channels)
He mauna, he ahu, he kiʻi, he kanaka
(A mountain, a sacred space, a vessel and of man)
Kanakaleonui e hea nei
(For atop Kanakaleonui is beckoning)
Hoʻoheihei hoʻoheihei kapu
(Weaving and capturing all that is sacred)
Nā kihi ʻehā o ka moku
(To the four corners of the land)
Ke kūkulu kūkulu ā ea
(To the pillars rising)
A hoʻi ua ea ka mauna kea ē
(May Mauna Kea's pristine nature be restored)

We are the roots, we are this aina
Protect this land, we are its soldiers
Fight hand in hand, we through with conquerors
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away
We teach our keiki e aloha ʻaina
Protect this land, we are its warriors
Fight hand in hand, we through with conquerors
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away
My Hawaiʻi you can never take away

A ʻonipaʻa no ke aloha ʻāina
