There at Ka'ena

Is my pearl lei

Moistened by

The spray of the sea

                        Your gentle sweet eyes

                        Mine to love

                        Your sweet voice

                        Sweetly on the plains

                                                The first time

                                                I laid eyes on you

                                                Your soft body

                                                That I really love

                                                                        Tell

                                                                        The refrain

                                                                        There at Ka'ena

                                                                        Is my pearl lei

Ka'ena Point the original name was Kalae O Kala`au is also the site of Leina O Ka `Uhane, a flat boulder where in Hawaiian mythology, the souls jump off from the earth to enter the next dimension, the spirit world.."
