My music is centered on creating a sacred sound connection reflective of the earth's elements, grounded in the traditions of my people and weaved with the language of the land of Hawaiʻi. The intention of my music is to raise a vibration of peace into the heart space and bring awareness to the shifts happening in the world today. These words and melodies serve as a catalyst for change and they are sung from the deepest part of my being. My songs are written in honor of the land that raised me, the ancestors that breathed life into me, and the people from around the world who inspire with their courage and love. I ka piko o ke aloha.
I wrote this song as a message to all law enforcement officers and Government Officials in Hawaiʻi that we are steadfast in our love for our land and for our Mountain and we will stand for the rights of the Earth until the very last aloha ʻāina.
lyrics
Now listen up when we say we´re not moving up and out of your way
So go on home tend to your own
Now listen up when we say we´re not moving up and out of your way
So go on home leave this mountain alone
You have a choice to stand with us and lift your voice
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
Now listen up when we say
You can´t ask for compromise then have it your way
So go on home tend to your own
No w listen up when we say
You can´t ask for compromise then have it your way
So go on home leave this mountain alone
You have a choice to stand with us and lift your voice
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
If you want to wave your flag up side up side wave it high wave it high
If you want to wave your flag down side dowside wave it high wave high
If you want to wave your flag up side up side wave it high wave it high
If you want to wave your flag down side dowside wave it high wave high
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
E óni a paá a hiki i ke aloha aina hope loa
Do not mistake our aloha for weakness
For we are fierce in our love for our land
Do not mistake our aloha for weakness
For we are fierce in our love for our land
Respect
