"I saw you in my dreams, We were walking hand in hand. On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii. We were playing in the sun. We were having so much fun. On a white, sandy beach of Hawaii. The sound of the ocean. Soothes my restless soul. The sound of the ocean. Rocks me all night long..."

"Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i. Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i. If just for a day our king and queen. Would visit all these islands and saw everything. How would they feel about the changes of our land. Could you just imagine if they were around. And saw highways on their sacred grounds. How would they feel about this modern city life. Tears would come from each others eyes. As they would stop to realize. That our people are in great. great danger now. How, would they feel..."

Dreams really do come true. Someday, I wish upon a star, Wake up where the clouds are far behind me. Where trouble melts like lemon drops. High above the chimney top. That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow, Bluebirds fly, And the dreams that you dare to..."
