ISRAEL KAMAKAWIWO'OLE

Be strong, know who you are, no be shame, stand up, e ala e.

I was scared when I lost my mother, my father, my brother, my sister.

I've seen it all, done it all, known it all.

Hawaiian to me is a feeling of getting somewhere, without stepping on anybodys toes, without causing friction with anybody.

I guess this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I'm not scared for myself for dying. Because I believe all these places are temporary. This is just one shell. Because we Hawaiians live in both worlds.

Wherever you go, God be with you.
