    Translation:
    Verse 1
    Te u hiki ‘a hoku le’o (I will lift up my voice)
    Fai atu ‘a e fakamalo (to give thanks to you)
    Lea pe ‘o ‘eku hiva (the only words to my song)
    Malo Sisu ‘a ho’o ‘ofa (Thank you Jesus for your love)
    Chorus-
    Peheange mai ‘e au ‘oku malava (Oh how I wish it was possible)
    Ka ‘oku ‘ikai ha lea ia ‘e fe’unga (but there’s not enough words)
    Ke tala atu Sisu ‘oku hounga (to tell you, Jesus how I appreciate)
    ‘A e ‘ofa ku ou a’usia (how you love me)
    Verse 2
    ‘Alu ‘eku manatu (My memory takes back)
    Sisu e ‘aho ne ke ui ai au (Jesus, to the day you called me)
    Talu ai ‘eku fakapapau (Since then I made a commitment)
    Ko au ‘eni, fai mai ha’o fekau (Here I am, your will be done)

    After hearing your daddy sing lead, I know that he resides in your heart, iam. I'm not going to sugarcoat grief like some may be doing. My daddy passed decades ago and there are days that feel like I just cremated him yesterday. We used to sing together. He taught me many songs starting when I was a toddler. He would play his ukulele & when I got older I would play piano to accompany him. It's the LOVE THAT NEVER FADES OR FAILS that will get you through the years . You are amazing grace. Mahalo for sharing your gift and the legacy of your daddy. Sending Healing Light and Healing Love to you and your family.
    🌺Aloha nui🌺

Just know you have a voice that heals and calms the soul. Hawai'i and those of us who also got priced out of the islands love and support you.
