E nä lima hana; E mälama ‘äina; me ke kino me ka pu ‘uwai.
E nä lima hana; E mälama ‘äina; me ke kino me ka pu ‘uwai.

1. With our hands, we press onward to the plow, never turning back, we face the myst'ry far beyond. With our hands, we will shape each other's stories, we will write the vision down, never tire until it's done.

2. With our hands, we will put our weapons down; we will care for the earth, we will speak a word of peace. With our hands we will wash each other's feet; we will break the bread of justice, we will share the cup of dreams.

3. With our hands, we'll reach out to one another; we will touch and heal each other, we will dry each other's tears. With our hands, we will work to build the promise, for our God will be our strength, and like the eagle we will fly.
