about

We can't talk about revolution, till we first in our minds are free.

This one's for the Aloha Aina, and all those striving to Protect, Preserve and Perpetuate Culture.

lyrics

V.1
Woke up last morning, in confusion.
And I know that there are many people, just like me.
We can't talk about, revolution, till we first in our minds are free.

Ch.
We've got to stop, the fussing and fighting.
The killing the lying, the back biting.
No more, no more.

V.2
Cause in the streets, in the streets are children dying.
And in their homes, their mothers, cry, cry, cry.
So as we rise to face the day.
As we rise we've got to say, say, say,

Ch.
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!

V.3
Now when I woke, this morning, I woke up with resolution.
To be firm in mind, and strong in deed.
We've got to rise to face the world.
And as we rise we've got to say, say, say,

Ch.
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!
We say, "IMUA! Ua mau ka ea o ka aina i ka pono!

Outro:
We say, "IMUA! For the youth today! We say, IMUA! For those locked away! We say IMUA! We say IMUA Hawai'i e!
We say, "IMUA! For the youth today! We say, IMUA! For those locked away! We say IMUA! We say IMUA Hawai'i e!
We say, "IMUA! For the youth today! We say, IMUA! For those locked away! We say IMUA! We say IMUA Hawai'i e!
We say, "IMUA! For the youth today! We say, IMUA! For those locked away! We say IMUA! We say IMUA Hawai'i e!
