My Home Hawai'i - 1:17:26, 8.30 AM
Laid-back Hawaiian folk meets acoustic rock ballad, opening with expressive fingerpicked guitar and airy open chords. Spacious verses use the G, G/B, Cadd9, Am7, C, D, Dsus4 progression, colored by rhythmic body percussion. orchestral background, Bongo, subtle tambourine, and gentle drum set add groove, while harmonica fills the gaps. Chorus and outro introduce Em, Bm7, D/F#, G7/C with richer female vocal harmonies. Rhodes piano, Electric guitar adds melodic layers; bass gently anchors the warmth.

Verse 1
I scroll my feed and find a picture of home,
I stare at the photo, feeling so alone,
Home seems like a world away,
The things I'm craving every day,
But here is where I have to stay.
Chorus
My Hawai'i, I remember the beautiful sunrise,
I remember the smiling faces and bright skies,
I'll never forget the golden memories of you,
The beautiful sunsets, skies of orange purple and blue,
The endless summer all year through,
The words Aloha and Ohana, warm and true,
I long for the day I'll be home with you.
Verse 2
A text comes in, it reads "What's your day?"
I answer back, "It's cold here, nothing much to say,"
For a moment I felt like I was there,
My friend knocks—I race down the stair,
My ha-na-i family, love beyond compare.
Chorus
My Hawai'i, I remember the beautiful sunrise,
I remember the smiling faces and bright skies,
I'll never forget the golden memories of you,
The beautiful sunsets, skies of orange, purple and blue,
The endless summer all year through,
The words Aloha and Ohana, warm and true,
I long for the day I'll be home with you.
Outro/Final Chorus
My Hawai'i, one day I'll see that sunrise,
Return to those smiling faces and bright skies,
Until then I'll hold these memories of you,
The island that raised me, forever true.
The island that raised me, forever true.
The island that raised me, forever true.
