The Meaning of Aloha
(from the musical The Last Queen of Paradise)
Music and Lyrics by Mel Atkey
My being part of all
And all being part of me
Where there is pain
It is my pain
Where there is joy
It is my joy
Beauty is aloha
And kindness is aloha
Aloha is the sympathy you share around
The empathy that must abound
Aloha
The longing is aloha
The yearning for a stronger faith, a better trust
A deeper soul, a world more just
Aloha has no anger
And carries no regrets
Whenever someone wrongs us
Aloha soon forgets
Aloha gives us power
Yet humbles us as well
Aloha never weakens
But makes our numbers swell
Compassion is aloha
Abundance is aloha
We find it in the earth, the sky, the fish, the birds
The pili grass, the sacred words
Aloha
Affection is aloha
And every time i see a world of hate and greed
I seek a way to meet its need in God
