Picture a tropical paradise - faraway Colorful leis of fresh fragrant flowers Worn by hula dancers that sway Sandy beaches and leisure filled hours Soft waving palms on a moonlit bay This island where mountains reach down to the seas You’ll be filled with Aloha wherever you go Soothed by the oceans and warm blowing breeze Each day assures us of a rainbow Everything dances here - even the trees As evening fades to pale orange light Beach boys sound a conch shell call Hawaiian torches burn into the night Ukulele’s strum- an instant heal all At last on vacation the world seems right Many people each of a different race From other lands have come to make a home To live in peace in this enchanting place And to here will return however far they roam Ko ‘Olina beckons them with silent grace
