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
