From the recording One Day
Living in Hawaiʻi is wonderful, but it doesnʻt make one immune to the stresses of ʻlifeʻ in general. COVID has certainly amplified this stress, so I wrote this mele as a reminder of whatʻs really important in life. Played in Taro Patch.
Lyrics
Just Breathe ©
Dave “Kawika” Fiely
Island life seems easy, shouldnʻt have cares at all
But it ainʻt a paradise when worries rise and fall
Sleep donʻt come easy when if you donʻt hear the rhythm of the rain
Youʻre gonna be breathless if you canʻt escape the pain
Life can be so hard when youʻre chasing down dreams
You gotta let go and flow with the tides of the sea
Weʻre all bound together, no oneʻs really free
So live in the moment and just breathe
Beauty surrounds us in this Hawai’i nei
Heavenʻs elusive when you struggle every day
Nā pua here are beautiful but donʻt matter if you canʻt tell
Focus on wrongs of the past make days seem like hell
Life can be hard when youʻre chasing down a dream
You gotta let go and flow with the tides of the sea
Weʻre all bound together, no oneʻs really free
So live in the moment and just breathe
Feel the love of ʻohana feel the joy of seeing their face
When you live in that moment thereʻs no better place
Life can be hard when youʻre chasing down a dream
You gotta let go and flow with the tides of the sea
Weʻre all chained together, no oneʻs really free
So live in the moment and just breathe
So live in the moment and just breathe
So live in the moment and just breathe
