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 />
