Humuhumunukunukuapua’a Lyrics

A bird is flying over with a message for his love
The life they lead will grow indeed
But no bird is a dove
He sat her down and told her, what was on his mind that day
Flying south was good enough
In fact he'd like to stay
Paradise was waiting and he knew they had to go
He'd hope that she come with him
And he'd hope they take it slow
In a flash they packed a bag, and left their home behind
They spread their wings and caught a breeze
And set out for the islands
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a in front of me
And you can see that I believe
That I have set us free
Two birds are flying over, with the ocean down below
Another world beneath them
Was a world she'd like to show
When they arrived he noticed other birds were diving fast
He made a note and flapped his wings
And other birds they passed
He wondered why they're diving in an ordinary bay
But he knew this wasn't diving in an ordinary way
He took a breath and dipped his nose and headed for the sea
What he did not know was that this dive would set him free
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a in front of me
And you can see that I believe
That I have set us free
