[Verse 1]
C#m F#m C#m A
Lend your ears, lend your hands
F# A C#m
Lend your movement, anything you can
C#m
Come to teach, come to be taught
A F#m A
Come in the likeness in the image of God
C#m
'Cause you can be like that
F#m G# B
With all that humbleness, and all that respect
F#m E
All of the power invested in me
C#m F#m A
Be it hard to love my enemies
E G#m E G#m
All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying
F#m C#m
The more I understand about the human race
A F#m A
The less I comprehend about our purpose and place
F#m E
And maybe if there was a clearer line
G#m
The curiosity would satisfy
F#m E
Time-based prophecies that kept me from living
A
In the moment I am struggling
C#m F#m E
To trust the divinity of all the guides
G#m B G#m
And what the hell they have planned for us
F#m A C#m
I cry for the creatures who get left behind
A F#m C#m
But everything will change in a blink of an eye
C#m
And if you wish to survive
E G#m
You will find the guide inside
[Verse 2]
C#m
I go back and forth every single day
A
The clarity it comes to me in the choppy waves
E
As the feelings and the places
And the seasons change
G#m
The galaxies remain
C#m
Energy fields pullin’ up out of this space
A
The angels that are composting the spiritual waste
E
The hate that gets me displaced from my spiritual place
G#m C#m
Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment
A
We’re on assignment
E
Bodies on consignment
G#m
Return them to the circus
C#m
And what is the purpose?
A E
What is the purpose and would you believe it?
G#m
Would you believe it
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A B
If you knew what you were for
E G#m
And how you became so informed?
A B
Bodies of info performing such miracles
E G#m
I am a miracle made up of particles
A
And in this existence
B
I’ll stay persistent
E
And I’ll make a difference
G#m
And I will have lived it
[Chorus]
C#m E G#m D#m
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua
C#m A G#m B
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana
C#m E G#m D#m
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua
C#m A G#m B
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana
[Verse 3]
C#m
I’m not a leader, just a creature
Seeking the features of a teacher
A
Whether you follow or whether you lead
E
All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it (I'm into it)
G#m B
Changing management (oh)
C#m
And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis
A
My stubbornness is bottomless
D E
My fearlessness is talking shit
And I’m wide awake (I'm wide awake)
G#m
And I’m taking names (And I'm taking names)
C#m
Do you speak to me like you speak to God?
A
All of the love and understanding between the father and the son?
C#m
Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are?
A
These are my people, these are my children
This is the land that I would fight for
C#m
My solidarity is telling me to patiently.
A
Be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry
E
'Cause there’s no time to wait (there's no time to wait)
G#m
I gotta to wake up my babies, time to stand up and say
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A B
We know what we are for
E G#m
And how we became so informed
A B
Bodies of info, performing such miracles
E G#m
I am a miracle, made up of particles
A
And in this existence
B
I’ll stay persistent
E
And I’ll make a difference
G#m
And I will have lived it
[Chorus]
C#m A E G#m
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua
C#m A E G#m
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana
[Post-Chorus]
C#m A
Each day that I wake
E G#m
I will praise, I will praise
C#m A
Each day that I wake
E G#m
I give thanks, I give thanks
C#m A
Each day that I wake
E G#m
I will praise, I will praise
C#m A
Each day that I wake
E G#m
I give thanks, I give thanks
[Outro]
C#m
And the day that I don’t wake up
F# B
And transcend the holy make-up
A C#m G#m
I am capable, I am powerful
F#m
The day that I don’t wake up
A
And transcend the holy make-up
G#m E G#m F#m
I am on my way to a different place
F#m
The day that I don’t wake up
And transcend the holy make-up
A E A G#m
I am capable, I am powerful
F#m
The day that I don’t wake up
A
And transcend the holy make-up
E G#m
I am on my way to a different place
