One Foot On Sand

Kahea (chant):
E Hawaii e motu he kanaka
He kanaka hawaii e
Ano ae me ke aloha nui e hawaii
Aloha no e kuu one hanau e
Aloha e, aloha e, aloha e
On my own, on the wind
A moment ends and one begins
Sense of freedom over the sea
But I watch my home, get further from me
Sometimes I reach to meet the clouds
But I always keep one foot on ground
My horizon widen me
Nights are cold here, sometimes lonely
My eyes are open, so much to see
Sometimes they long for familiarity
And away on distant land
I always keep One Foot On Sand
Ano ae me ke aloha nui e hawaii
Aloha no e kuu one hanau e, hanau e
Ano ae me ke aloha nui e hawaii
Aloha no e kuu one hanau e, hanau e
He motu he kanaka, he motu he kanaka hawaii e (Aloha e)
He motu he kanaka, he motu he kanaka hawaii e
Holidays bring me home
My appreciation has grown
Warmer water, smaller pond
But some things here circle on
Sometimes I reach to meet the clouds
But I always keep one foot on ground
And away on distant land
I always keep One Foot On Sand
He motu he kanaka, he motu he kanaka hawaii e (4x)
Kahea (chant):
Ano ae me ke aloha nui e hawaii
Aloha no e kuu one hanau e
Aloha e, aloha e, aloha e
