The song of an island,
The call of a friend,
Heard never again,
Out in the world.
If you were alone,
How could you have known,
That yours was a final breath?
Of language surviving
Through an age,
Til only a name was left.
Too hard to believe.
Everywhere I run, on every horizon
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see.
Everywhere I run, I hear only silence,
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see.
We couldn't decipher,
The things that you said,
The only one left with time to go.
You wandered the earth,
Were seen but not heard
No matter how far you went.
The story's behind us, not today,
As careless with every step.
Too hard to believe.
Everywhere I run, on every horizon
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see.
Everywhere I run, I hear only silence,
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see.
Are we searching enough,
For a life that we'd choose?
Tell me when does it stop?
Tell me what we lose.
Everywhere I run, on every horizon
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see.
Everywhere I run, I hear only silence,
The words are gone, Kauai O'o.
There's nothing to see
