Hawai'i '78 Introduction Song Lyrics

Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
Ua mau, ke ea o ka aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i

I feel free now, you know? I was just confined like, you know?
My Mom was born on Niihau. My Dad was born here.
My Dad, he was a he worked for the Navy. Down at PWCA,
Public Works. Down Pearl Harbor.
Oh my mother was tight ah was tight. My Poppa was tight.
My Poppa died when he--when I was 10 I think.
Was 10 years old. But every once in a while, he come
Back you know. I trip! Just like couple of weeks ago,
I was sleeping my place, and then my mother and auntie Nina came

How would they feel?
Would their smiles be content rather then cry?
