I've been away from home so long I miss you now and then Walking beside the mountain stream Or hiking around the bend Catching the rays of the morning sun In the blue Manoa sky Watching the leaves falling silently From Kukuni trees on high When the wind rushes in When the rain gently falls When the sun shines its light upon the valley wall When the birds sing their songs When the stream moves along Then I know that I am home in Manoa again I can remember my childhood days Climbing the valley wall Reaching the top of Wa'ahila Ridge So high above it all I can remember my mama's voice A sweet and gentle sound She always seemed to find a way To cheer me when I was down When the wind rushes in When the rain gently falls When the sun shines its light upon the valley wall When the birds sing their songs When the stream moves along Then I know that I am home in Manoa again When the wind rushes in When the rain gently falls When the sun shines its light upon the valley wall When the birds sing their songs When the stream moves along Then I know that I am home in Manoa again Then I know that I am home in Manoa again Then I know that I am home in Manoa again
