LYRICS: Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai In a time where the culture could die If you take away the water, our precious wai, wai Oh Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai In a time where the people could cry Cause they are abusing the 'aina `A`ole malama So let's not feed Our hunger with greed Its time we plant the seed And remember true Hawai`i Kanaka Maoli Don't let it die Don't say we didn't try To break out through the lies And look in to the inside Akua guide I Like `opelu in the sea A school we must be Planting kalo to feed our family Singing a song to help each other along Keiki O Ka `Aina Stand Strong Well we can talk about sustainability But most of this land is leased to companies Who could care less about the people And the land they grow upon Just becomes a chemical farm They're doing harm And what have these companies done for us anyway Most of the food they grow just get sent away To another place and they say it to our face If we didn't have them, we'd starve in just a few days But our way We are here to make our stand today And there's a lot of people out there that feel the same way Don't let them trick you, they're out to deceive But everyone is entitled to what they believe So I'll be chanting Mana `Ai, mahalo for the pa`i`ai In a time where we look through the lies Stare them in the eyes and told them that This truth wears no disguise Like `opelu in the sea A school we must be Planting kalo to feed our family Singing a song to help each other along Keiki O Ka `Aina Stand Strong Like `opelu in the sea A school we must be Planting kalo to feed our family Singing a song to help each other along Keiki O Ka `Aina Stand Strong

I love everything Paul stands for. Living in a world filled with hate, its refreshing to see someone celebrate the peace and happiness that could be!

[@szymonlipa3856]

Beautiful song brother, I just had a negative moment in my day and your song came just like blue angels from heaven, namste and love to everyone reading or not reading :)

[@mohammadsokni1974]

Namaste and love back to you two years later. I was in a negative moment too, and trying to bring myself up and out of it. Here I am connecting with you somewhere in the universe sending hope and light and love.

[@TRCustomKnives]

Stumbled upon this randomly. This is awesome, Thank You! :)

[@randomlyinteresting]

I’ve listen to this hundreds of times over the years, and still warms my heart each time.

[@yamiteru4376]

Same bro. Always sing along.

[@BabyCricket-Bug]

Hearing this today for the first time. Amen Brother! It brought me to tears because I'm exhausted from staying strong. It made me feel better though, and I love the song. Praying for humanity who remains strong in these days & times of the poisoning of our environment, mind, body, soul, & very existence. It's time to be self sustaining again, so we can thrive after the fall of the cabal and corrupt corporate world. 😊

[@rotenauwn6200]

I would love to live this way..

[@MrsFackdem]

Risking to die from a fever (except if "living this way" includes pharmacetics), accepting to be hungry half a day and saying goodbye to the easy access to our society's entertainment and culture (and I'm even talking about the"sane" ones, like litterature)? Then throw out your computer/phone or whatever you're writing this comment on, because that would be the easiest part of starting to live "this way". I'm glad I live in this society... Even if it's often unfair, I would not trade my place with a guy singing half nude with a guitar in the forest. I disagree with a lot of things going on our system, so I fight for some of day everyday - without preaching it, because you don't make things evolve by forcing it on people. Stop dreaming your life, live it. You can do beautiful things wherever you are now. You want nature? Start growing up the simplest stuff yourself - it's not hard to have your own onions or tomatoes. You want community? Go talk to your neighbours, invite them, help them... The list is long. Some things depend on yourself only.

[@Monkuless]

who asked you

[@MrsFackdem]

+T2 TheY that's what people who are able to have a social life call "discussing".

[@karls8586]

Hey, be sure not to leave your house, MrsFackdem, since it might be cold outside, and you might even fall and hurt yourself. To be sure, simply stay inside, order food, watch tv all day, and make sure you have 911 on speed dial. That's true living.

[@MrsFackdem]

[@DrizztdewErdin]

i wish i had the lyrics to sing along with, love the wisdom, love the spirit of what is better than whats wrong, we got the people and the places, with so many faces, but we aren't receiving these messages, the difference in our necessities, together we will be free, and that is what we should see, to be in the moment and stand tall like the trees, fill with nourishment take in all inspiration and knowledge, wouldn't it be beautiful with laughter and worry not, for the frowns we will turn around and multiply

[@SierraEchoAlphaNovember]

The frequency of truth, loved, respect, and compassion and the love of his environment and the love of his existence in total . Is the most powerful energy that we as a species that don't understand our existence in total have a lot to learn before the greater power in which has hidden us to develop this frequency in which love is so powerful two one-day show the existence in total that we mean business and rid the existence of hate. In total. -SeanCochran

[@edwardmason2350]

So the shadow council met and decided our path. Environmental degradation the consumption aftermath. Nothing to eat. the sheep are hungry bleat bleat. Big sugar, wheat, canola, soy. Boy oh boy these domesticated apes will buy 2 cents of American taxpayer subsidy purchased corn for a fiver if you add a plastic kids toy. Then wheat kings of old hold the world for ransom. They beat down great grandmother and took the esoteric knowledge. Killed toolmaking with a steel pot and knife. Now skills are a commodity sold by college. We do as they say or they're bringing the pain. Can you imagine India tomorrow if they don't give them grain? -emason

I don't really care about any hippy shit but there is a difference between down with the food corporations, and camera/guitar manufacturers. Sure they need to cut down trees for guitars and whatever. But animals suffer when food is mass produced, bad living conditions and whatever. There's a difference.

[@SPACEMONKEY288]

why do people hate hippies? are they too peaceful and compassionate for people or what? i dont get it lol

[@luneyahortairo4951]

Other people are just jealous, that someone can live without much money or completely without it, away from the system and hostile society, close to the nature, in peaceful communities where everyone loves and cares about each other. They are jealous that you can you live so simple life and be just happy everyday, have time for creating, playing music, doing art works. Not to work in a corporation, live in stress, paying for credits, expensive cars and houses. Those people are convinced that life cannot look different, and because they (think they) cannot escape from the vicious circle in which they move everyday (work-home-sleep), they hate people who are fully free and happy.

[@SPACEMONKEY288]

i know i cant wait to be off grid. i got a few groups of friends down i also wanted to leave room for strangers also but i wanted to buy up alot of land together an build a close cob community with living grass roofs and a food Forrest going all throughout are community, strawberrys and grapes growing off the roof ect. collect water in a water catcher get free food free water and free shelter. show people a more natural way to co exist along side nature. hopefully inspire others to live in harmony with the Forrest, or atleast along side it.

[@bartelgrant]

thats a pretty naive interpretation. ...as if the one and only explanation can be jealousy... I think the main reason for the hate or troll comments is, that to most people it seems unnecessary to transform into a dreadlock wearing hippie talking with a jamaican accent, walking around like tarzan and practice yoga all day long. It seems really really superficial. You can be a good person and do good things, without all these superficialities.

[@luneyahortairo4951]

Everybody do what he feels. Follow your way and accept that other people have their own way.
