lyrics

I awoke from a dream
How did it seem
So real?
Her fins turned to feet
She walked outta' the sea
And straight up to me

If I can't go near
I'll take ya here
If I can't go near
I'll take ya here
Oh
Alooooha

None of my friends would believe
She was so sweet
Sweeter then the sweetest liliko'i
And juicier then the ripest mango

I'll take ya there
If ya can't go near
I'll take ya here
If ya can't go near
I'll take ya here
Oh
Alooooha

Now I'm stuck in this frozen land (land)
Only in my dreams you take my hand (hand)
Beauty is fleeting
And charm is deceitful
And I want more

Oh ooo

Shake baby shake
Groove baby groove
Move baby move
To the tropical breeze
All night

Aloha
The Hōkūleʻa led us here
Star searcher
An ancient map to the ʻĀINA
She'll take ya there
Oh your heart
She'll take ya there
Intuition
She'll take ya there
Oh
Alooooha

Oh ooo
