[Hawaiian] Still Rising

Lyrics

[Intro] (Soft – Spoken / Sung)  
Ua hele au i ka mālie,  
Lohe i kaʻu inoa i ka pō,  
He moʻolelo kēlā ʻeha,  
He hoʻomanaʻo kēlā hāʻule ʻana.

[Verse 1]  
Ua ʻōlelo lākou e nalowale au,  
E mae nā moeʻuhane i ka manawa,  
Akā ua hāpai au i ka luhi  
O koʻu mau manaʻo a me koʻu makaʻu.

Kūpaʻa au i ka honua e nāueue,  
I kahi i emi ai nā pane,  
E hanu ana au ma waena o ka kānalua,  
A ala hou au i luna.

[Pre-Chorus]  
I kēlā me kēia pō au i haki,  
Aʻo i ke kūpaʻa,  
Ua aʻo kēlā pōʻino,  
He hoʻolālā kēlā kapuaʻi.

[Chorus] (Lift – Melodic)  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
Ma waena o ke ahi a me ka ua,  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
ʻOiai e like ana nā pō.  
E kūlou au, ʻaʻole e haki,  
E hāʻule, akā e noho mau,  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
E kāhea ana i koʻu inoa iho.

[Verse 2]  
ʻIke i nā puka e pani mālie ana,  
Lohe i ka ʻuhane o "ʻaʻole,"  
Akā e hoʻomau ana ka manaʻoʻiʻo,  
"He wahi hou e ulu ai."

Huli i nā ʻeha i ka naʻauao,  
Huli i ka hanu i ka pule,  
ʻO kaʻu e hāpai ana i loko,  
ʻAʻohe kanaka e hoʻoponopono.

[Pre-Chorus 2]  
Inā paʻakikī loa ke ala,  
Inā mamao ka mālamalama,  
E hoʻomanaʻo i ka ikaika  
I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o kāu mea.

[Chorus] (Full – Stronger)  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
Ma waena o ke ahi a me ka ua,  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
ʻOiai e like ana nā pō.  
E kūlou au, ʻaʻole e haki,  
E hāʻule, akā e noho mau,  
Ke ala hou nei au,  
E kāhea ana i koʻu inoa iho.

[Bridge] (Spoken / Half-Sung – Powerful)  
ʻAʻole kēia ka hopena,  
He hōʻoia kēia,  
Ua ola au i ka mea i manaʻo ʻia  
E hoʻopaʻa i koʻu leo.

ʻAʻole au i wehewehe ʻia  
E nā mea i nalowale,  
Akā e ka wiwo ʻole  
I lawe ai i ka hauʻoli.

[Final Chorus] (Big / Choir Feel)  
Ke ala hou nei mākou,  
Ma waena o ke ahi a me ka ua,  
Ke ala hou nei mākou,  
He kukuna ko kēlā ʻeha.  
E kūlou mākou, ʻaʻole e haki,  
E hāʻule, akā e noho mau,  
Ke ala hou nei mākou,  
E kāhea ana i ko mākou inoa iho.

[Outro] (Soft – Spoken)  
Inā lohe ʻoe i kēia,  
E hoʻomanaʻo ia,  
Aia nō ʻoe i ʻaneʻi,  
A ʻo ia ka mea nui loa.
