Pomaika'i Lyrics

I thank the lord every day for another breath

Every day a newborn every day another death

Gotta give thanks when you wake up from your rest

Yes, life's the best gift from the morning til the sun sets, blessed

Mahalo au i ka haku i kēlā me kēia la no kēlā me kēia hanu

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou

Can't explain what it means to me

Take in the scenery, another breath is leavin me

I'm feelin good, pretty healthy and my soul's right

Bout to hit my mid 40's but that's all hype

I'm feelin prime with the past behind me

A lotta lessons learned

Waiting for the next page to turn

So I can start a new chapter

I captured so much memories along the road

Now I'm pavin paths much smarter had to lighten up the load

No stressin just progression, love your life no depression,

overcome all obsessions stay focused on direction

See before I lived wreckless

didn't think about what mattered

Had a daughter at 27 then switched my whole pattern

I started to appreciate the little things which turned into bigger things

And found out there's a reason for everything

I live simple but my spirit is rich

And all the money in world wouldn't cause me to switch

See my kupuna taught me love will reciprocate

Rise above all pilikia don't discriminate

Everyday try do good, stay humble, you'll be fine

Bumbai you learn the only perfect thing is God's time

I thank the lord everyday for another breath

Everyday a newborn every day another death

Gotta give thanks when you wake up from your rest

Yes, life's the best gift from the morning til the sun sets, blessed

Mahalo au i ka haku i kēlā me kēia la no kēlā me kēia hanu

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou

I did a gratitude test and I'm not feeelin stressed

No scarcity mode don't sow no greediness

The ingredients, only the expedient

Drew the formula up and stayed obedient

Can't be immediately known nor the easiest shown

Plant the seed in your heart, that's the key to your home

Mine's open now, at the base of the Ko'olau

Maunalua, take you to my ocean now

Then with identity, you're stronger fundamentally

Might ignite an appetite to find light in almost anything

I'm finding mine, not by accident it's by design

I root my happiness in seeds I breed to leave behind

Keep lookin out, for the small things that count

Thanksgiving fills the gap with even little amounts

Squeeze your families, get to lovin your friends

He that's hard to please, is left with nothing in the end

Squeeze your families, get to lovin your friends

He that's hard to please is left with nothing at the end

To the atheists, agnostics and the faithful

The secret of life is being grateful

I thank the lord every day for another breath

Every day a newborn every day another death

Gotta give thanks when you wake up from your rest

Yes, life's the best gift from the morning til the sun sets, blessed

Mahalo au i ka haku i kēlā me kēia la no kēlā me kēia hanu

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou

Kekahi hānau hou ā laila make hou
