Soft sand beaches where gentle waves kiss the shore, Where golden sunbeams paint the skies galore, Resides a notion, pure as morning's gleam, Aloha, the essence of a hopeful dream. With vibrant hues, the island's heart beats true, Embodied in the whispers of the sea's true blues, Like fragrant blossoms dancing on the air, Aloha surges, all embracing. Aloha! Music and lifestyle of an island’s embrace, Melting barriers, removing race. Aloha, weaving love's bright thread, Unfolding unity, wherever we tread. Beyond the surface of mere spoken word, Aloha lingers, an anthem yet unheard, Unleashing tender and welcoming currents from within, Igniting fires of kindness, where we've all been. With every smile shared and kind gesture shown, Aloha blossoms and we are not alone, Aloha! Let its rhythm touch your heart, A symphony of empathy, a sacred art, May warmth and compassion forever flow, Within the depths of your highs and lows. In the dance of life, remember Aloha, The guiding principle that sets our spirits free.
