I cry uncontrollably every morning to this song. It's my mantra. It's so beautiful and it's gets me amped up for the day! I just want to leave this world one day with comfort knowing that I tried to make it better. Truly I cant express how Nahko speaks to me

[@TheLizItIs]

I cry with a level of gratitude almost unimaginable every time I hear this song

[@artinallforms5718]

I have to be honest, I wasn't feeling Nahko when I first heard him, I respected him fully as a fellow musician and lyricist, but for reasons now known to me I wasn't resonating. My heart was closed up thanks to other peoples projections and perceptions. I am now free of those, and my heart is being gently opened up a little more each time I listen to this wonderful man. Thank you Nahko Bear, Love is pouring in thanks to you and your beautiful music.

I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this song! Especially THIS version

[@thisbnamedmargo]

Lend your ears, lend your hands Lend your movement, anything you can Come to teach, come to be taught Come in the likeness in the image of God 'Cause you can be like that With all that humbleness, and all that respect All of the power invested in me Be it hard to love my enemies All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying The more I understand about the human race The less I comprehend about our purpose and place And maybe if there was a clearer line The curiosity would satisfy Time-based prophecies that kept me from living In the moment I am struggling To trust the divinity of all the guides And what the hell they have planned for us I cry for the creatures who get left behind But everything will change in a blink of an eye And if you wish to survive You will find the guide inside [Verse 2] I go back and forth every single day The clarity it comes to me in the choppy waves As the feelings and the places And the seasons change The galaxies remain Energy fields pullin’ up out of this space The angels that are composting the spiritual waste The hate that gets me displaced from my spiritual place Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment We’re on assignment Bodies on consignment Return them to the circus And what is the purpose? What is the purpose and would you believe it? Would you believe it [Pre-Chorus 1] If you knew what you were for And how you became so informed? Bodies of info performing such miracles I am a miracle made up of particles And in this existence I’ll stay persistent And I’ll make a difference And I will have lived it [Chorus] Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana [Verse 3] I’m not a leader, just a creature Seeking the features of a teacher Whether you follow or whether you lead All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it (I'm into it) Changing management (oh) And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis My stubbornness is bottomless My fearlessness is talking shit And I’m wide awake (I'm wide awake) And I’m taking names (And I'm taking names) Do you speak to me like you speak to God? All of the love and understanding between the father and the son? Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are? These are my people, these are my children This is the land that I would fight for My solidarity is telling me to patiently Be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry 'Cause there’s no time to wait (there's no time to wait) I gotta to wake up my babies, time to stand up and say [Pre-Chorus 2] We know what we are for And how we became so informed Bodies of info, performing such miracles I am a miracle, made up of particles And in this existence I’ll stay persistent And I’ll make a difference And I will have lived it [Chorus] Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana [Post-Chorus] Each day that I wake I will praise, I will praise Each day that I wake I give thanks, I give thanks Each day that I wake I will praise, I will praise Each day that I wake I give thanks, I give thanks [Outro] And the day that I don’t wake up And transcend the holy make-up I am capable, I am powerful The day that I don’t wake up And transcend the holy make-up I am on my way to a different place The day that I don’t wake up And transcend the holy make-up I am capable, I am powerful The day that I don’t wake up And transcend the holy make-up I am on my way to a different place The day that I don’t wake up And transcend the holy make-up I am Capital

[@joewilliams7584]

This song changed my life

[@haisu3568]

*Lyrics* *instrumental intro* Lend your ears, lend your hands, Lend your movement, anything you can. Come to teach, come to be taught. Come in the likeness in the image of God. Because, you can be like that. With all that humbleness, and all that respect. All of the power invested in me, be it hard to love my enemies. All of the black bags, over the heads of the dead and dying. The more I understand about the human race, the less I comprehend about our purpose and place and maybe if there was a clearer line the curiosity would satisfy. Time based prophecies that kept me from living, in the moment I am struggling to trust the divinity of all the guides and what the hell they have planned for us. I cry for the creatures who get left behind but everything will change in a blink of an eye and if you wish to survive, you will find the guide inside. I go back and forth every single day, the clarity that comes to me in a choppy way, as the feelings and the places and the seasons change, the galaxies remain. Energy fields cone the body in space. The angels that are coming from a spiritual waste. The hate that gets me distant from my spiritual pace. Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment. We're on assignment. Bodies on consignment. Return them to the circus, and what is the purpose? What is the purpose and would you believe it? Would you believe it if you knew what you were for, and how you became so informed. Bodies of info performing such miracles. I am a miracle made up of particles and in this existence, I'll stay persistent, and I'll make a difference and I will have lived it. Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua, Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana, Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua, Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana. I am not a leader, just a creature. Stick the peaches of my teacher when you follow where they lead. All mysterious ways of nature and I am in to it. Changing management. And there are various ways to conquer this, monotonous, metropolis, my stubbornness is bottomless, my fear is this is talking shit and I am wide awake and I am taking names.Do you speak to me like you speak to God? All the love and understanding between the father and the son? Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are? these are my people these are my children this is the land that I would fight for. I saw an ebonese telling me to patiently move the music medicine around the planet in a hurry. Cuz there's no time to waste. Got to wake up my babies time to stand up and say, we know what we are for and how we became so informed. Bodies of info performing such miracles. I am a miracle. Made up of particles and in this existence I'll stay persistent and I'll make a difference and I will have lived it. ……. Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua, Aloha, Aloha, Kuleuna, Kuleana, Aloha, Aloha, Ke Akua, Ke Akua, Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana, Each day that I wake, I will praise, I will praise. Each day that I wake, I give thanks, I give thanks. Each day that I wake, I will praise, I will praise. Each day that I wake, I give thanks, I give thanks. And the day that I do wake up and transcend the holy makeup, I am capable. I am powerful. And the day that I do wake up and transcend the holy makeup, I am on my way to a different place I am powerful. And the day that I do wake up and transcend the holy makeup, I am on my way to a different place
