Xavier Rudd and The United Nations - Hanalei

Come on mumma give me what you got
Hanalei Hanalei
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Hanalei Hanalei

Your waters descending
from your mountains ascending
To my arteries for cleansing
from the arteries of life

Your mountain says aloha
to the roots of the the lapuna
And the old man Ayahuasca
on the quest for where and why

Come on mumma give me what you got
Hanalei Hanalei
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Hanalei Hanalei

You're sprayin your chemicals
to increase your decimal
To continue domination
keep holding people down

Come on mumma give me what you got
Hanalei Hanalei
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Hanalei Hanalei

I'm only a man in my prime
Though my hands they are tied
If you show me the way
I will go I will go I will go

See we've all been designed to reveal
our own knots we have tied
we've all been designed to believe
and I believe I believe

I will go

The trick about recognition
The trick about reconciliation
Can one man fight his demons
with another man holding him down

The trick about recognition
The trick about reconciliation
Can a woman birth creation
with a sister holding her down

Come on mumma give me what you got
Hanalei Hanalei
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Hanalei Hanalei
Come on mumma give me what you got
