Chant it up!
Let's chant more songs with a purpose
For the beings who can't sing of themselves
Let's chant more songs about our 'āina
For the stories can't be placed on no shelves
We are the teachers, the singers, storytellers
Of our generation this day
We are the caretakers, all of my Hawai'i
Take on that kuleana of Hawai'i nei
Take on that kuleana, ie ie i
That kuleana Hawai'i
C'mon let's cultivate more 'āina
Our winds and our rains will appreciate
Let's cultivate more forward thinking
And through our generations we will create
Kuleana, the responsibility
To mālama you and your community
Said a let's respect the roots and culture
Represent indigeneity
Strictly through your actions
For just words have no livity
Chant the psalms of your 'āina
And know all your kūpuna
For all your generations to come
We are the teachers, the singers, storytellers
Of our generation this day
We are the caretakers, all of my Hawai'i
Take on that kuleana of Hawai'i nei
Chant it up!

Said a let's respect the roots and culture
Represent indigeneity
