I have the Hawaiian and English version of The Prayer by Hookena. I also know the dance motions to this song. My beloved Kumu Kamalei Sataraka taught me this beautiful dance before she passed away a year ago. I would be happy to share it with you in her memory.

Over years having lived in Hawaii, I plan to move back to the mainland. I love to choreograph Hawaiian songs.
If you provide me the Hawaiian & English, I'd like to share my wisdom with you. I have looked for my final hula for my friends.
Mahalo.

Aloha,
I was hoping to get the word to the song and also link up with someone who knows the hula to this song so I could perform it at my daughter's graduation party for all the graduates. If you have this information please email me. I greatly appreciated your kindness in sharing this information. Happy New year.

“THE PRAYER” – Ho’okena with Maila Gibson

I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

I lama no makou, I pray we’ll find your light
E pa’a poli ai, and hold it in our hearts
Ke lipo mai ka po, when starts go out each night
I ‘ike ‘ia ‘oe, that you may be seen
I pule na makou, let this be our prayer
Ke malu mai ka la, when shadows fill our day
Ala ka’i mai (offer us guidance)
E paulele e (that we may have faith)
I ka palekana mau (in safety that is everlasting)

Kahi pau o ka ‘eha a kaumaha
(A place where pain and sorrow are no more)
A lan ka mana’o o kanaka
(And hope is restored to the heart of man)
‘Upu mau a’e (I) ka Makua Lani
(We shall always remember the heavenly Father)
A huli mau ia ‘oe
(And always turn to You)
I ka lani la
(Reaching to heaven above)

(Don’t have Hawaiian words for this part)
We ask that life be kind, and watch us from above
We hope each soul will find, another soul to love
Let this be our prayer, just like every child
Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe
I ka malu ou
E paulele ai
I ka palekana mau.

You might want to check the website of Kumu Keali'i' Ceballos. I have seen his halau perform the prayer on several ocassions, and each time , it brought tears to my eyes.

I want to know the words before the main part of 'Ho'okena'.I can figure out 'Kona kai opua ika lai O'pua hinano ika malie...' After that.
