Lyrics
Haleaklala
Haleaklala Haleaklala Haleaklala
intro
welcome to the island of maui
In the middle of the big blue sea
Chorus
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun no need to run no need to pack a gun
1st verse
From the pukalani town to the makawao town to the haiku town you got to break it down
From the hana town to the Kehei town you got to get your body moving all around
we can party alright nobody fuss nobody fight
Its the bomb like diggy dynamite
It the truth Man teat each other right unite unite
Chorus
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun no need to run no need to pack a gun
2nd verse
It time to unite because we love hawaii from oahu to Kauai
Fishermen catch the ahi while giving thanks and praises to the almighty
but lets no forget about the island man
who captured the sun and fished out the land
so here today woman and man lets save paradise lend a helping hand
Chorus
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun woa
Haleaklala the house of the sun no need to run no need to pack a gun
bridge
let the sun shine
let the sun shine
let the sun shine in
let the sun shine
let the sun shine
let the sun shine in
breakdown
Haleaklala Haleaklala Haleaklala
