Description
A song in Hawaiian inspired by my trip to the top of Haleakala to watch the sun rise - elevation 10,000 feet - which is the inactive volcano in Maui :)
Lyrics
E Ala E E Ala E Ka la I kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka moana ho ho nu We went down to the top of Haleakala Saw a moon-bow of pearl and opal light; a brilliant sight. Our breath was ice but our heart took flight on Haleakala Tiger-stripes sweetly ignited the sky, the heavens cried, They said: E Ala E E Ala E Ka la I kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka moana ho ho nu We looked down 10,000 footsteps from the sea. Cotton-candy sweet, creamsicle clouds down below. On the edge of sight the brightest star was set ablaze A hummingbird in my rib-cage, she sang to me, She said: E Ala E E Ala E Ka la I kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka la i kahikina Ka moana ho ho nu
