Hawaiian lyrics composed by Kellen Paik. Lyrics and translation below:

Hikaʻa lani au i ka wā kaumaha
Mea ʻole ka ua e heleleʻi nei
Manaʻo au i nā lā hauʻoli
Ke kū mehameha

Hikaʻa lani au i ka wā kaumaha
ʻIke maka i nā hōkū e ʻimoʻimo nei
Manaʻo au i nā lā leʻaleʻa
Ke kū mehameha

I ʻō o nā ʻōpua
Ka ʻoli oʻu e ʻimi mau

Hikaʻa lani au i ka wā kaumaha
ʻOiai luʻuluʻu nō kuʻu puʻuwai
Manaʻo au i nā lā aloha
Ke kū mehameha


I gaze heavenward during sad times
The rain that falls is of no consequence
I remember the happy days
As I stand alone

I gaze heavenward during sad times
I witness the beauty of the twinkling stars
I remember the joyful days
As I stand alone

Beyond the clouds
Is the happiness that I continually seek

I gaze heavenward during sad times
When my heart is heavy with sadness
I recall the days of love
As I stand alone
