[Verse 1]
Morning on the dock, boys lace up tight
Salt on the skin, fire in the eyes
Lahaina men, we don’t move for show
We move like one when the black waves roll
Calloused hands, smooth stroke, clean line
Every pull back strong, every turn on time
Grandpa taught grit, uncle taught pace
Now we own the water, face to face
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean in
Hold that blade
One heart
One name
When the wind cuts hard
We don’t break
We dig down deep
And take our place
[Chorus]
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Side by side
We rise, we rise
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Strong in the water
Strong in life
(Paddle for Lahaina)
[Verse 2]
Scarred-up knees, but we still stand tall
Some days heavy, still we answer the call
Smoke in the memory, yet the crew stays near
Same shoreline promise, same chant in the ear
No trophy shine can replace that bond
One canoe, one crew, one moving song
When the lane gets rough and the legs want quit
We look at each other and we never split
[Pre-Chorus]
Lean in
Hold that blade
One heart
One name
When the wind cuts hard
We don’t break
We dig down deep
And take our place
[Chorus]
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Side by side
We rise, we rise
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Strong in the water
Strong in life
(Paddle for Lahaina)
[Bridge]
From the old pier to the open blue
Every man here knows what we came through
Not just speed, it’s soul and pride
Stay in the seat, stay in the fight
(Stay in the fight)
[Final Chorus]
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Side by side
We rise, we rise
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
Strong in the water
Strong in life
Paddle for Lahaina
Paddle for Lahaina
We carry the shore
In every drive
(Paddle for Lahaina)
