Tell me what we're searching for
How far do we need to see?
Ain't what we're looking for
It's always been in you and me, oh yeah
I know we're learning as we go
Where our soul lies and how we will grow
But if we open up our eyes and see what God has made
We won't have to make the same mistakes

'Cause what is sacred
In the world, ain't a thing could replace it
We could learn from the burns of your ancient ones
Anything that we're taking from
We're only taking from ourselves
The world is us and we need help

Oh Mauna Kea, we'll stand for you
Stand in the way of what comes against you
Stand till the end
To hear you roar again, Mauna Kea
Oh Mauna Kea, we'll stand for you
You show the world the way where we move
We will stand till the end
To hear you roar again

If not now, then where will we stand?
We're knocked down, but that won't be the end
We might go down with the others
But we'll still rise for our motherland
So when she cries, it won't bein vain
By her side, till the end we'll stay
She gave us all that we needed
Mauna Kea, I still believe

You are sacred
Ain't a thing in the world could replace ya
We could learn from the burns of your ancient ones
Anything that we're taking from
We're only taking from ourselves
The world is us and we need help

Oh Mauna Kea, we'll stand for you
Stand in the way of what comes against you
Stand till the end
To hear you roar again, Mauna Kea
Oh Mauna Kea, we'll stand for you
You show the world the way where we move
We will stand till the end
To hear you roar again

Tall we will stand
Like the way that the mountains
Been holding us high
Safe from the tide, oh no
Tall we will stand
Like the way that the mountains
Been holding us high
Safe from the tide, oh no
