Lyrics:


Lend your ears, lend your hands.

Lend your movement, anything you can.

Come to teach, come to be taught.

Come in the likeness and the image of God.

Cause, you can be like that.

With all that humbleness, and all that respect.


All of the power invested in me,

be it hard to love my enemies.

All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying.


The more I understand about the human race,

the less I comprehend about our purpose and place

and maybe if there was a clearer line 

the curiosity would satisfy.


Time based prophecies that kept me from living,

in the moment I am struggling

to trust the divinity of all the Gods

and what the Hell they have planned for us.


I cry for the creatures who get left behind

but everything will change in the blink of an eye

and if you wish to survive,

you will find the guide inside.


I go back and forth every single day.

the clarity it comes to me in the choppy waves.

the feelings, the places and the seasons change,

the galaxies remain.


Energy fields pulling our bodies to space.

The angels that are composting the spiritual waste.

The hate that gets me displaced from my spiritual pace.

Tenfold the mana when the planets are in place


and polar alignment.

We're on assignment.

Bodies on consignment.

Return them to the circus.


and what is the purpose?

What is the purpose and would you believe it?

Would you believe it 

if you knew what you were for

and how you became so informed?


Bodies of info performing such miracles.

I am a miracle made up of particles

and in this existence,

I'll stay persistent,

and I'll make a difference

and I will have lived it.


Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.


Each day that I wake,

I will praise, I will praise.

Each day that I wake,

I give thanks, I give thanks.

Each day that I wake,

I will praise, I will praise.

Each day that I wake,

I give thanks, I give thanks.


And the day that I don't wake up

and transcend the holy make up,

I am capable, I am powerful.

The day that I don't wake up

and transcend the holy make up,

I am on my way to a different place....


I'm not a leader, just a creature,

seeking the features of a teacher.

Whether you follow, whether you lead

All the mysterious ways of nature and I'm into it.

Changing management.


And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,

my stubbornness is bottomless,

my fearlessness is talking shit

and I'm wide awake and I'm taking names.


I am not a leader, just a creature.

Seeking the features of a teacher.

Whether you follow or whether you lead

All mysterious ways of nature and I'm into it.

I'm into it.

Changing management.


And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,

my stubbornness is bottomless,

my fearlessness is talking shit

and I am wide awake.

And I'm taking names.


And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis.

my stubbornness is bottomless,

my fearlessness is talking shit,

and I'm wide awake and I'm taking names.


Do you speak to me like you speak to God?

All the love and understanding between the father and the son.

Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are?

These are my people, these are my children,

this is the land that I would fight for.


My solidarity is telling me to patiently

be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry,

Cuz there's no time to wait.

I've got to wake up the people, time to stand up and say:

we know what we are for

and how we became so informed.

Bodies of info, performing such miracles.

I am a miracle, made up of particles

and in this existence,

I'll stay persistent

and I'll make a difference

and I will have lived it. ........


Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.


Each day that I wake,

I will praise, I will praise.

Each day that I wake,

I give thanks, I give thanks.

Each day that I wake,

I will praise, I will praise.

Each day that I wake,

I give thanks, I give thanks.


And the day that I don't wake up 

and transcend the holy make-up,

I am capable, Hm that's right, 

I am powerful.

And the day that I don't wake up and transcend the holy make-up,

I am on my way to a different place!


Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua,

Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.
