Lyric

To believe the sky held every answer

Hoʻokahi wale nō koʻu makemake: e lele

Back then, fear didn’t have a name

No clouds, no limits, only light

I ka makani, ua nalowale au

I wasn’t choosing. I was drifting

ʻAʻole au i nānā i ka lani hou

I forgot how to look up But the sky…

Waited

Beneath the sky, I choose my wind

Not the softest, not the easiest. But mine

ʻO ka lani nō ka mea nāna e kiaʻi i ka manawa

Some things don’t lead — they wait

I heluhelu au i nā ao, akā, ua poina au i ka lani

I kept reading the clouds and missed the sky

Ua huli au i lalo, i ka pouli

I gave the darkness too much say

E lani, e alakaʻi mai iaʻu

Sky, don’t push me — just hold me steady

Ua hala ka ʻino. Ua kū au

I’ve survived the storm. Now I’m choosing the sun

Beneath the sky, I shine again

Ka lā e ho'āla hou i koʻu naʻau

The sun doesn’t heal me — it reminds me

This time, I’m not drifting. I’m soaring

I ka ua, ua hānau ka ānuenue

From pain, comes grace. From storms, color

And I… I am that color
