Whats going on in the world today
Seems like all they care about is green
Whats taken over is the greed
Hidden agenda behind the scenes
Why can't you let my people
Protect and have whats rightfully ours
Whats sacred but you disregard
The fact that its not yours at all
Ku Kia'i Mauna
A'ole TMT
Build that telescope somewhere else
Not on our sacred Mauna please
Ku Kia'i Mauna
A'ole TMT
Build that telescope somewhere else
Not on our sacred Mauna please
Its heartbreaking to see our Kupuna get taken away
In the name of science and research
But what about the damage that they can't reverse
They did it once and if it goes through it will happen again
Kaho'olawe lets not sit here and just try to pretend
As if it hasn't happened once before
But us Kanakas won't stand for it no more
Ku Kia'i Mauna
A'ole TMT
Build that telescope somewhere else
Not on our sacred Mauna please
Ku Kia'i Mauna
A'ole TMT
Build that telescope somewhere else
Not on our sacred Mauna please
