The
Man from Upolu Point
©1989 Words and Music by Jerome Grey
History has it told a thousand years ago
That there lived a man
Was a humble man
A quest searching man
A tribute
to a hero who fear no evil
Like a song unsung
Where was he from
And where did he belong
Pa’ao!
Pa’ao! Kahuna o kohala
O great alii from the south
I come from afar to pay homage to the man from Upolu.
From the
hills of Malaia came a warrior and a sailor
Just the tide and the stars like the Hokulea
Kahuna o kohala
My eyes
closed in prayer as I stood there
watch chilren play at Kohalahe stay
Upolu Hawaii nei
Pa’ao!
Pa’ao! Kahuna o kohala
O great alii from the south
I come from afar to pay homage to the man from Upolu.
