The Place I love

Homesick


My heart yearns for a place I
Have only been once
Yet in my mind
I venture there a million times

I long to swim in the deep blue
Run through the sugar cane fields
Sand caressing my toes
See the lava from Kiluwa flow
Feeling the sun on my face
I embrace the scent of the tropical breeze,
I know now
This is all I will ever need

So far away
Yet it stays in my heart,
I was born on da mainland, yes
It's true
But Hawai'i, my heart belongs to u
I am a child of the islands
Part of the Polynesians

To be among my Ohana
Know the aloha spirit with my own eyes
My own hands, my heart
Embrace those who open to me with their arms
with welcome in the hearts
This is the land that I love.
This is where I should be
This is my heritage
This is my Hawai'i
