Lyrics Israel Kamakawiwo’ole – I’ll Be There
Text:
You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
And if you need me, oh I’ll be there
When I was a little boy, my grandfather said to me
He said,»help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony»
You should be his brother and help him along
Take the time to look around, brothers on the ground
Please don’t look the other way
Listen to what, what I, what I have to say
When I was a little boy, my grandfather said to me
He said,»help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony»
Instrumental
Haina ‘ia mai ana kapuana
When I was a keiki, my tutu kane said to me
He said,»help your friends and neighbors to live in harmony»
When a man walks in darkness and he stumbles right from wrong
You should be his brother and help him all along
I’ll be there to help you through
You’ll have faith in all I do
Just call my name and I’ll be there
