A
If just for a day our king and queen  
F
Would visit all these islands and saw everything 
G                                            A
How would they feel about the changes of our land 
 
 
A
Could you just imagine if they were around 
F
And saw highways on their sacred grounds 
G                                          A
How would they feel about this modern city life 
 
 
A
Tears would come from each others eyes 
F
As they would stop to realize 
G                                         A
That our people are in great great danger now 
A                F                G                       A
How, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry 
 
 
A
Cry for the gods, cry for the people 
F
Cry for the land that was taken away 
G                         A
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i  
 
 
A
Could you just imagine if they came back 
F
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks 
G                                          A
How would they feel about this modern city life 
 
 
A
Tears would come from each others eyes 
F
As they would stop to realize 
G                                      A
That our land is in great great danger now 
 
 
A
All the fighting that the king had done 
F
To conquer all these islands now these condominiums 
G                                   A
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei 
A             F               G                       A
How, would he feel, would his smile be content,  then cry 
 
A
Cry for the gods, cry for the people 
F
Cry for the land that was taken away 
G                         A
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i 
 
 
A                  F            G      A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i 
A                  F            G      A
Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
