Kīpuka Vision
I mōhāhā popohe ka pua lehua
ʻAʻole i mea e makahehi ʻia mai ai
ʻAʻole hoʻi i mea e nani ai ka lei
I mōhāhā popohe ka pua lehua
I mea e wewehi kāhiko ai ka nahele
I mea hoʻi e ola ai ka ʻiʻiwi maka pōlena
I mōhāhā popohe ka pua lehua
I ke kapa lehua uhi ulu ʻōhiʻa
I kuʻu maha lehua kau halalī
