After the destructive fires on Maui, we are holding the vision for the waters of Lāhainā to return and bring back the sacred land of Malu 'Ulu O Lele (the land of the flying breadfruit).

LYRICS:
There’s a storm on the way
It’s coming in from the East
The wind is getting wild
I’m feeling helpless like a child
There’s fire in the streets
We can’t survive the heat
People are screaming everywhere
There’s no time to stop and stare
Will we survive this storm?
Our families all are torn
How our lives will change
With 7 planets in retrograde
Lahaina town’s no more
Our heavy hearts feel so sore
How can we rebuild from here?
I’llI choose not to live in fear
When Tutu Pele activates
Fertile soil and life awaits
Destruction brings rebirth
Let’s call forth a New Earth
Sprout verdant life and trees
Water flowing abundantly
Mauka to Makai
Let’s bring back the sweet waiwai
CHORUS:
Malu Ulu O Lele
Aloha Aina is here to stay
Kanaka Maoli plant your seeds
Aumakua guide us please
Ulu, Kalo, Mai’a
Uala, Noni, Papaya
Root down strong and grow
Ancestral seeds we shall sow
Keep Hawaiian lands in Hawaiian hands
Lahaina lands in Lahaina hands
Our mo’olelo will be told
Kanaka land will not be sold
E iho ana 'o luna
E pi’i ana 'o lalo
E hui ana na motu
E kū ana ka paia
CHORUS
The prophecy chant by Kapihe:
E iho ana 'o luna
E pi’i ana 'o lalo
E hui ana na motu
E kū ana ka paia
translates as:
That which above shall be brought down
That which is below shall be lifted up
The islands shall be united
The walls shall stand upright
