WIND BENEATH MY WINGS:
It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight in your face
You were content to let me shine, that's your way
You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strength
A beautiful face without a name, for so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero and ev'rything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle 'cause you are the wind beneath my wings
'Cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

HE HAWAI'I AU (translation by He Mele Aloha Songbook, 2003)
This night, here I am with you
This night, I have returned
Long has been my journey on the road
Searching for a place in this world.

I understand now and truly know
Where home is, here in my heart
I've returned and now I know
I shall never wander again
When I understand I am a Hawaiian.
