MAKUA ROTHMAN<br />

SOUND WAVE


LOVELY<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Dustin Barca<br />

Sunny days on the North Shore<br />

Living a dream that I had before<br />

I can’t believe that you chose me<br />

You carried me out of the winter storm<br />

---You take me higher<br />

C H O R U S<br />

You’re looking so lovely, lovely Girl<br />

Really really lovely lovely girl<br />

You’re looking so lovely, lovely Girl<br />

Really really lovely lovely girl<br />

So nice to meet yah, whisper in my ear<br />

Tell me all the things that I want to hear<br />

You’re looking so lovely, lovely girl<br />

Really really lovely lovely girl<br />

He u`i no `oe<br />

Flying up to the clouds above<br />

Oh every time I turn around<br />

When I’m lost with you I’m found<br />

I feel alive when you’re around<br />

---You take me higher<br />

Looking through the islands for some girls to have<br />

some fun<br />

Love the local girls cause they are me number one<br />

I said looking through the islands for some girls to<br />

have some fun<br />

Lovely local girls cause they are me number<br />

one---say<br />

---You take me higher<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Looking through the islands for some girls to have<br />

some fun<br />

Love the local girls cause they are me number one<br />

I said looking through the islands for some girls to<br />

have some fun<br />

Lovely local girls cause they are me number one<br />

He u`i no `oe<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Sun shines upon your face<br />

Your lips shining in the sun<br />

I can’t believe with me…<br />

You want to be…


UNDERNEATH THE HALO<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Ras Furlong<br />

Take off need to get away<br />

Spend time with familiar faces<br />

I’m sick of ordinary nights<br />

Head west into the sun<br />

Bee line down the 101 and drive until we cross the<br />

county line<br />

C H O R U S<br />

There’s a better life on the west side<br />

There’s a better life<br />

Tell me you’ll find your way<br />

Back to me (you’re everywhere the wind blows,<br />

everyday my heart grows more and more)<br />

Tell me it’s time to stay, here with me (cause every<br />

time my heart shows that we’re growing closer<br />

than before)<br />

I know who you are (underneath the halo)<br />

I know who you are (underneath the halo)<br />

(Underneath the halo)<br />

Spend a few days by the golden coast<br />

Get the sand in between our toes<br />

Go back where we belong (back where we belong,<br />

yeah)<br />

Tell me you’ll be my Corona and lime on the beach<br />

all night<br />

Playing old Sublime songs, cause lovin’ is what we<br />

got<br />

C H O R U S<br />

(`Ukulele Solo)<br />

Summertime at the beach house<br />

Reggae music blastin’ from the underground<br />

Sayin’ get up, stand up, stand up for your<br />

rights<br />

Come on everybody let’s party all night<br />

Singin’ hey ho hey ho<br />

Get your hands up, hands up - stop - go<br />

Summertime and it’s alright, come on<br />

everybody let’s party all night<br />

C H O R U S


FIGHT THE SUN<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Britt Burton<br />

One way out and one way home<br />

Driving down the sandy road<br />

Ready or not here we go<br />

The red star is out tonight<br />

Bikini tops and long blonde hair<br />

Taking shots and we don’t care<br />

We never truth, we always dare<br />

The red star is out tonight<br />

And we got this, got this<br />

No one can stop us<br />

C H O R U S<br />

We won’t break the night<br />

If we’re going down, we’ll go down swinging<br />

It’s a crazy life,<br />

If we’re going down, we’ll go down swinging<br />

Skinny-dippin with the moon<br />

You know how to set the mood<br />

Ditch these fools just me and you, I’ll blow your mind<br />

tonight<br />

Taste the salt that’s on your lips<br />

Ain’t no better time than this<br />

Let’s get down and to the business<br />

I’ll blow your mind tonight<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun -- rise<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun -- rise<br />

We’re gonna go play on the dark side of the<br />

moon<br />

Dancing in the dark and the light ain’t coming<br />

soon<br />

We’re gonna go play on the dark side of the<br />

moon<br />

Dancing in the dark and the light ain’t coming<br />

soon<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun – rise<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun -- rise<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun -- rise<br />

Let’s fight the sun, let’s fight the sun, let’s fight<br />

the sun<br />

And we got this, got this<br />

No one can stop us


LEAN ON ME<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann<br />

On a long dark road<br />

So dark and so cold<br />

Just can’t seem to find my way back home<br />

So very lost but I wish I was found<br />

And I can’t seem to get myself off the ground<br />

I said, runaway runaway<br />

You can’t leave yourself behind<br />

Anywhere that you stay<br />

From your soul you cannot hide<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Lean on me<br />

You don’t have to be alone<br />

Lean on me<br />

Let your heart be your home<br />

Stand up and fight<br />

This is your life<br />

This is your life<br />

This is your life<br />

E-Oh E-Oh Oh<br />

2x C H O R U S<br />

On a long dark road<br />

So dark and so cold<br />

Just can’t seem to find my<br />

way back home<br />

What I’m dyin’ to say is I give it all away<br />

Even if with my life I must pay<br />

Now I look down just to see up<br />

I’m living my entire life in a rut<br />

I said, runaway runaway<br />

You can’t leave yourself behind<br />

Anywhere that you stay<br />

From your soul you cannot hide<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Stand up and fight<br />

This is your life<br />

This is your life<br />

E-Oh E-Oh Oh


THE NITE B4<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Tommy English, Ras Furlong<br />

(I’m still drunk from the night before)<br />

The sun is creepin’ on the shore<br />

There’s strangers passed out on the floor<br />

What’d we get in to last night?<br />

Tequila on my morning breath<br />

There’s lipstick stains all on my chest<br />

At least I hope she was my type<br />

C H O R U S<br />

But so what?<br />

It doesn’t matter cause I know that<br />

Once I hit the ocean I’ll be all right<br />

The waves will wash this hangover away<br />

Cause I’m still drunk from the night before<br />

All these chicks will look like models<br />

Once I finish off this bottle<br />

And the cops are knocking at my door<br />

But I’m still drunk from the night before.<br />

Now what the hell is going on?<br />

Who parked this car out on the lawn?<br />

Oh well at least we made it home<br />

My bar receipts a mile long, my wallet and my phone<br />

are gone<br />

Looks like I got a ways to go<br />

C H O R U S<br />

And now it’s crystal clear<br />

What started out with just a beer<br />

Turned in to shots of tequila<br />

And I was Mr nice to meet yah<br />

Barely made it out the bar<br />

Hitchhiked down that boulevard<br />

I think I met my future wife<br />

But I forgot what she looks like<br />

I fell in love<br />

Fell down the stairs<br />

Can’t remember much from there<br />

But I know they’ll be plenty more<br />

Times I’m drunk from the night before<br />

C H O R U S<br />

I’m living like there’s no tomorrow<br />

Once I finish off this bottle<br />

Cops are knocking at my door<br />

But I’m still drunk from the night before


LOST IN TRANSLATION<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Tommy English<br />

(Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home)<br />

40 days and 40 nights till I’m lying next to you,<br />

lying next to you<br />

Staring at horizon lights till I’m lying next to you,<br />

lying next to you<br />

No I won’t sleep till I’m home<br />

No I won’t sleep till I’m home<br />

My last text goodbye<br />

Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home<br />

Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home<br />

Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home<br />

Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home<br />

Oooooh Ooh Oh Ooooh Ooh Aloha I’m home<br />

I’m home, I’m home<br />

C H O R U S<br />

You know I’m leaving on a red eye tonight<br />

Lost in translation here in Hawai`i<br />

You know I’m leaving on a red eye tonight<br />

And they say good lovin’ is so hard to find<br />

It’s my last text goodbye<br />

Back to my mountains majesty<br />

You are the air I breathe, everything I see<br />

I am the father of the sea<br />

Yeah it was my destiny<br />

With her I am free<br />

No I won’t sleep till I’m home<br />

No I won’t sleep till I’m home<br />

ONE VOICE<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann<br />

Rapper: iTCH<br />

Our Government tells us a story<br />

Oh yes it’s a story<br />

Yeah, Our government tells us a story<br />

Oh yes it’s a story<br />

They send our children to war<br />

What the hell are they fighting for?<br />

They fighting for their money<br />

And they fighting for greed<br />

But yet it’s our children who bleed<br />

C H O R U S<br />

What we need<br />

Is one love<br />

And one voice<br />

It’s our choice<br />

My people are sayin’<br />

We need is one love and one voice<br />

It’s our choice my people are sayin’ – yeah,<br />

yeah, yeah<br />

It’s in to the future they lead<br />

A future of uncertainties<br />

So my brothers please open your eyes<br />

And finally start to realize<br />

C H O R U S<br />

And all the people living as one under the sun<br />

And all the people living as one under the sun<br />

(RAP)<br />

So you want the youth to succeed<br />

In this world of ignorance that you see<br />

You distract them with your technology<br />

To turn them in to your little sheep<br />

So no longer can we let this be<br />

My people please listen to me<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Take a little second to think<br />

Just about those who lead our people<br />

Sayin’ – yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

(RAP)<br />

UNDER THE COVERS<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Josh Moran<br />

(I wanna stay lost inside your heart)<br />

I remember when it started<br />

Back when we was broken hearted<br />

I was feelin’ sick and tired<br />

Then I found you by the fire<br />

Told me all your little secrets<br />

All the times that you felt cheated<br />

Saw myself in your reflection<br />

Now I feel a new direction


C H O R U S<br />

My one desire…<br />

I was awake inside a dream<br />

I was the king and you’re my queen<br />

I wanna get lost, wanna get lost, wanna<br />

get lost inside your heart<br />

Wanna swim inside my head<br />

Never wanna leave our bed<br />

Wanna stay lost, wanna stay lost, wanna<br />

stay lost inside your heart<br />

And I said… (whistle)<br />

(I wanna stay lost inside your heart)<br />

Dragons came to take us out<br />

The castle kept us safe and sound<br />

Surrounded by the clearest water<br />

Way up in the highest tower<br />

You and I would rule the world<br />

Always and my only girl<br />

ISLAND CHILD<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann<br />

When I’m with you time stands still<br />

Always were my greatest thrill<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Wanna swim inside my head<br />

Never wanna leave our bed<br />

Wanna stay lost, wanna stay lost, wanna stay lost<br />

inside your heart<br />

And I said…<br />

The best of lovers under the covers<br />

There’s no others<br />

It might sound like just a dream<br />

But this is my reality<br />

You’re my sunlight<br />

Only one left, together we ride<br />

Higher up into the clouds<br />

Flying way above the ground<br />

(`Ukulele Solo)<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Dry your eyes<br />

It gets better<br />

It gets better<br />

No one can hold you back<br />

but you<br />

Oh Oh<br />

Shadows fall<br />

Night is fading<br />

Night is fading<br />

New dawn will come no matter<br />

where you stand<br />

Oh Oh<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Island child<br />

The sun will guide you home<br />

Come back to where your<br />

heart was born<br />

Island child<br />

The sun will guide you home<br />

Take shelter from the<br />

midnight storm<br />

Broken child without a smile<br />

Without a smile - hey<br />

Left alone in the wild<br />

Oh Oh<br />

Had no home<br />

But found a dream<br />

Found a dream<br />

I start to make your fire burn<br />

bright<br />

2x C H O R U S<br />

Dry your eyes<br />

It gets better<br />

It gets better<br />

No one can hold you back<br />

but you<br />

Oh Oh


BEAUTIFUL LIFE<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Reno Powers<br />

I found a diamond in the rough<br />

Could it be a sign from up above<br />

I never know where I’m going<br />

Good friends will always come and go<br />

Bless all the people that know<br />

It’s a beautiful life that we’re living<br />

C H O R U S<br />

I like the sunshine on my head<br />

I like the rainfall when I’m in bed<br />

There’s no time for shame or regret<br />

It’s a beautiful life we’re livin’ today<br />

Keia Lä, Hauoli<br />

We all rise up from the sea<br />

Keia Lä, Hauoli<br />

Oh how I love, my Hawai`i<br />

I love the wind the way it blows<br />

She always seems to take me home<br />

What a beautiful life we are given<br />

You never know till you try<br />

Don’t let this life pass you by<br />

Don’t sink when you could be swimming<br />

C H O R U S<br />

Everybody wants to feel the warmth of the sun<br />

Relax your mind<br />

And just have fun, fun<br />

DESPERATION BLUES<br />

Composers: Makua Rothman + John Feldmann, Tommy English<br />

I remember the life I used to live<br />

Government stamps and relatives<br />

Livin’ in a tent down by the cave<br />

Desperation Blues<br />

Eatin’ lunch out of a garbage can<br />

My board shorts were the only clothes I had<br />

They told me I never had a chance now<br />

Desperation Blues<br />

C H O R U S<br />

You know the blind can’t lead the blind<br />

Must be an escape that we can find<br />

It ain’t a bottle or up high<br />

No No<br />

You know it’s hard to see the signs<br />

Day by day they pass us by<br />

It’s time to open up our eyes<br />

Oh Oh<br />

I won’t give up<br />

I won’t give up on you<br />

These dreams we share<br />

Today they’re gonna come true<br />

So I don’t wanna see you cryin’<br />

It’s only dark until the sun starts risin’<br />

I won’t give up<br />

I won’t give up on you<br />

I won’t give up on you<br />

The waves were my only salvation<br />

We were livin’ off the plantation<br />

My Papa was incarceration now<br />

Desperation Blues<br />

Sand and trees were my only friends<br />

Cuz mom forgot to pay the rent – oh no<br />

Thought this life would never end<br />

Desperation Blues<br />
