Lyrics

01. Embers in the Rain

Sensual Album Cover
(Verse 1) The day’s last light is a memory now Just the glow of the coals on your skin somehow A single drop traces a line down your neck A path I’m mapping,lost to the deck The rain on the tin roof starts its slow,steady beat... A rhythm for the whispers,our bare, shifting feet. (Pre-Chorus) No need to speak,the silence is ours... No need to be strong,let go of your powers... The world is just water and shadows and steam... You’re not just a lover...you’re part of the dream. (Chorus) And it’s a slow-burn island night... Skin on skin Ooooh,in the rain... Where the fire in the dark gives a flickering light... A flickering light... To the way that you move,to the way you let go... A dance with no steps,just a natural flow. (Verse 2) Your hand on the small of my back says it all Catching me gently,before I could fall Not into water,but into your eyes... Under these saturated,infinite skies. The storm’s rolling out,but we’re stirring our own... In this little grass shack we’ve made our own home. (Pre-Chorus) So let the waves crash,they’re just keeping time... To this heartbeat of yours that is slowing down mine... The cool of the rain and the heat from within... Is a battle we’re winning,a beautiful sin. (Chorus) Yeah,it’s a slow-burn island night... Just take it slow So slow... Where the fire in the dark gives a flickering light... Gives us light... To the way that you move,to the way you let go... A dance with no steps,just a natural flow. (Bridge) Lehua...you hear that? That’s just the lauhala tree...dancing. Don’t stop. (Guitar Solo) (Outro) Mmm...the rain... The only thing cooler than you... Shhh... (Humming)[Insert lyrics here] Verse 1... Chorus...

[Verse] The moon melts into the ocean's sigh Palm trees swaying like they know why Your shadow dances Slow and sly [Chorus] Feel the night breathe Soft and tight Hawaiian whispers Holding light Oh So slow Let it flow Let it ignite [Verse 2] The sand is warm like a lover's skin Waves hum secrets Pulling us in Your touch A spark Where do I begin [Prechorus] Every glance A quiet flame Every breeze It calls your name [Chorus] Feel the night breathe Soft and tight Hawaiian whispers Holding light Oh So slow Let it flow Let it ignite [Bridge] Stars hang heavy Dripping gold Your breath A story Untold Bold The world dissolves The night takes hold

03. Divine Frequencies

Sensual Album Cover
[Verse] Close your eyes let the stillness sing A melody rising on angel’s wing Feel the pulse of stars within your chest [Chorus] Humming light through every vein Healing whispers in the rain Open doorways Open doorways [Verse 2] Golden threads weave the unseen Through every breath lies the in-between Infinite vastness in the small [Prechorus] Can you hear the sacred tone It’s the universe calling you home [Chorus] Humming light through every vein Healing whispers in the rain Open doorways Open doorways [Bridge] Each vibration a step on the stair To divine skies beyond the air Your highest self begins to rise Unlocking realms through inner eyes

04. Slow Burn Island Night

Sensual Album Cover
[Verse 1] Moonlight spills across the water like liquid pearl Trade winds carry the scent of night-blooming pua Your shoulder catches silver,my fingers follow slow Every breath you give me is a secret the ocean already knows [Pre-Chorus] No need to rush the tide… It knows exactly where we hide Let the night lean in,soft and low We’ve got nowhere else to go [Chorus] This is a slow-burn island night Skin tracing skin in the silver light Waves keep the time,gentle and sure Pulling us deeper than words ever could Hele mai…closer still Till the whole world is quiet and filled With you…with me…with the sea [Verse 2] I feel the warmth rising where your hand rests low Like the glow of koa embers that refuse to let go Salt on your neck tastes like tomorrow’s rain And every kiss is a promise we’ll find this again [Pre-Chorus] The stars are too shy to watch So they hide behind clouds that drift and touch Just the moon and the trade winds know How softly a heart can let itself go [Chorus] This is a slow-burn island night Skin tracing skin in the silver light Waves keep the time,gentle and sure Pulling us deeper than words ever could Hele mai…closer still Till the whole world is quiet and filled With you…with me…with the sea [Bridge] Listen…can you hear it? The ocean breathing with us… E hoʻi mai kāua…right here…right now… [Chorus – final, slower] This is our slow-burn island night Drifting together till morning light When the trade winds carry us home We’ll still taste the moonlight on our own Hele mai…one more time Till the whole world disappears in the tide Just you…just me…and the sea… [Outro] Just you…just me… And the sea… And the sea…

05. When the Elements Sing as One

Sensual Album Cover
Long ago,the voices were scattered... The sea sighed alone,the wind whispered secrets to empty shores, The mountain stood silent,the blossom bloomed unheard, The stars sang their ancient songs to a slumbering world. Until...the call. (Verse 1) From the deep,a rhythm rose,a pulse beneath the foam, Kaimana’s voice,the ocean’s choice,to call the scattered home. A melody of salt and spray,beneath the setting sun, The journey of the gathered way,had only just begun. (Verse 2) A blossom’s sigh,a fragrant breeze,Lehua danced with Makani’s glee, Through emerald leaves and swaying trees,a sweet,wild harmony. The wind,it carried,soft and free,the land’s most tender sound, A whispered,joyful symphony,on currents swirling round. (Verse 3) The mountain’s heart,a steady drum,Makua Nui’s grounding might, A rumble felt by everyone,holding the day and night. Above,the stars,a cosmic hum,ʻAukai charted course, Guiding the song where it would come,with celestial force. (Chorus) KAI MANA! Hear the power rise! When scattered voices touch the skies! The sea,the land,the wind,the stone, The stars above,we’re not alone! We weave the world in one great song, Where every note belongs! KAI MANA! Feel the earth reply! As elements unite and fly! The ocean swells,the blossoms gleam, The stars ignite,fulfilling the dream! One voice,one heart,one mighty thrum, The islands’ chorus,overcome! (Bridge – instrumental crescendo) (Chorus – bigger) KAI MANA! Hear the power rise! When scattered voices touch the skies! The sea,the land,the wind,the stone, The stars above,we’re not alone! We weave the world in one great song, Where every note belongs! KAI MANA! Feel the earth reply! As elements unite and fly! The ocean swells,the blossoms gleam, The stars ignite,fulfilling the dream! One voice,one heart,one mighty thrum, The islands’ chorus,overcome! (Outro – fading to waves and soft chime) E hoʻoulu,e hoʻoulu... Kai Mana...forever one.

Sensual Album Cover
(Intro) Yeah… trade winds blowin’, sun sittin’ high… Lehua, you feel that heat? (Verse 1) The sun is high,the trade winds blow I see you watchin’ me—yeah,I already know Thinkin’ ‘bout the beach,not the daily grind You got that spark that’s been on my mind That secret spot way down the trail… …where we never check the mail. (Pre-Chorus) Eh,Lehua,what you gonna do? Something that’s gonna surprise you! Eh,Lehua,what you gonna bring? I’m bringin’ the heat,gonna make you sing!

You gotta catch me first!…Okay,fine. My saucy slack key… so steamy… …yeah,you’re mine… …aloha nui…

09. How Do You Do

Sensual Album Cover
(Verse 1) Once I said I wanted you Underneath the moonlit sky I can’t recall the reason why—aloha But still I wonder if it’s true That you could make my wahine cry (Pre-Chorus) I only know it’s long ago By the swaying palms you whispered,“I love you too” So I found a simple plan,my dear To start again,like a fresh lei—new (Chorus) How do you do,mm-hmm…mm-hmm I thought,why not—na-na-na-na Just me and you beneath the sun—na-na-na-na Just like before by the ocean blue—na-na-na-na “Please give me more,my sweet haole” “Hey,that’s what I’m living for—mahalo!” (Verse 2) Now I know why I wanted you The memory’s crystal clear,my dear And yes I’m certain it is true You’re the one who made my wahine tear (Pre-Chorus) But it’s not so long ago By the swaying palms you whispered,“I love you too” So I’ll keep that simple plan,my dear To start again,like a fresh lei—new (Chorus) How do you do,mm-hmm…mm-hmm I thought,why not—na-na-na-na Just me and you beneath the sun—na-na-na-na Just like before by the ocean blue—na-na-na-na “Please give me more,my sweet haole” “Hey,that’s what I’m living for—mahalo!” (Chorus – repeat/fade) How do you do,mm-hmm…mm-hmm na-na-na-na…na-na-na-na…
