From the recording Dangerous Crossing

Lyrics

If for a day our king and queen would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land
Could you imagine if they were around saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each others eyes as they would stop to realize
That our people are in great danger now

Concrete jungles urban sprawls hotel skyscrapers mega shopping malls
Polluted waters sacred stones broken trust our ancestor’s neglected bones

Cry for our gods cry for our people cry for our land taken away
Yet you still will find Hawai'i

Could you imagine they came back and saw the traffic lights and railway tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each others eyes as they would stop to realize
That our land is in great great danger now
All of the fighting that the king had done to conquer the islands now condominiums
How would they feel if what they saw Hawai'i now

Cry for our gods cry for our people
Cry for our land taken away
Yet you still will find Hawai'i
