   A 
If just for a day our king and queen  
	F 
Would visit all these islands and saw everything 
         G				          A 
How would they feel about the changes of our land 

A 
Could you just imagine if they were around 
        F 
And saw highways on their sacred grounds 
        G					      A 
How would they feel about this modern city life 

A 
Tears would come from each others eyes 
     F 
As they would stop to realize 
        G					  A 
That our people are in great great danger now 
A		    F		   G			  A 
How, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry 

	A 
	Cry for the gods, cry for the people 
	F 
	Cry for the land that was taken away 
	G			    A 
	And then yet you'll find,    Hawai'i 

A 
Could you just imagine if they came back 
F 
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks 
G					      A 
How would they feel about this modern city life

A 
All the fighting that the king had done

To conquer all these islands now these condominiums 
G				         A
