HOME LANI.

N—ani wale ka luna a i Homelani
A—ia i ka lai a o Hilo One
W—ehiwehi ka opua i ka’u ike
A—ia i ke ao malamalama
H—anohano Hawaii i ka’u ike
I—ke ku kamahao ma ka Hikina
O—ka lehua makanoe o Luluupali
K—ahiko mau ia o ka aina
A—ia i ka luna o Waiau
L—ilinoe ka wahine a oia uka
A—ia i ka piko olu o Wakea
N—oho mai o Malama i ka uluwehi
