Lyric

ALOHA isn’t whispered—it’s echoed

It travels through time and voice

From beaches to buildings

From strangers to friends

ALOHA expands

And as long as I believe in it

ALOHA lives around me

I arrived with empty hands, but hearts were full around me

They smiled before I spoke, they said “ALOHA” before my name

I didn’t know how to answer, but I felt it deep inside

This word, this warmth—it asked for nothing

He ʻolina leo kā ke aloha

A joyous voice is the expression of love

Their joy wasn’t loud—it was real

It taught me that kindness doesn’t need to shout

ALOHA isn’t a place you find

It’s a way you move, the way you see

Even in silence, it sings

Even in goodbye, it stays

I packed it like a secret in my bag

Carried it back to my concrete jungle

ALOHA didn’t fade in traffic lights or steel

It bloomed when I said hello first

E hele me ka puʻolo

Always take an offering with you

That offering was a smile, a hand, a pause

And that was enough to open a heart

I ka ʻōlelo no ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make

In the word is life, in the word is death

I carry that in every “good morning,”

In every name I remember

My words are now a choice, a healing, a hope

ALOHA isn’t whispered—it’s echoed

It travels through time and voice

When I speak with love

I am not alone—I am ALOHA

From beaches to buildings

From strangers to friends

ALOHA expands

And as long as I believe in it

ALOHA

Ua ola loko i ke aloha

ALOHA
