Aloha again, here I am with the 27th composition of mine sharing my Aloha with you. This song expresses my love for the Hawaiian Islands, in this land of Love and Aloha.
I Believe in Hawai‘i
I believe in Hawai‘i, land of love and aloha
From majestic mountains where the sea meets the sky
I believe in Hawai‘i, people here sing together,
in this land they call paradise all your dreams will come true.
Chorus: From the slopes of Maunakea,
To the canyons of Waimea,
In the wind you seem to hear voices sing,
Hawai‘i, Hawai‘i, I believe in Hawai‘i.
Rainbows and flowers are everywhere
There’s no place like Hawai‘i,
I believe in Hawai‘i
Land where dreams come true,
Land where dreams come true.
