[Verse 1]:
F C Bb
Before Hamakua
C Dm
Who the hell were ya?
C
And do you know by now?
F Am C
Remember the waiting
Bb C
For water falling
F Dm C
And concentrating on myself
F Am/C
The quiet ohi'a
Bb C F
Gave me the fever
C
To push through cracks and reach for light.

[Verse 2]:
F Am Bb
Before 7 Feathers
C Dm
Gave me his sweater
C
I'd be the brave and bear the cold
F Am Bb
I found myself seeking
C Dm
A false understanding
C
Of what is truth and honesty
F Am Bb
I kept on stretching out
C Dm
All of these blessings
C
And learned to scream above the rain
[Chorus]:

[Verse 3]:
F Am Bb
Before my beloved
C Dm
Took me for granted
C
I would face the lions' den
F Am Bb
Through our indecision
C Dm
I discovered my medicine
C
People stay and people leaving
F Am Bb
For what a better lesson
C Dm
Than to be open to the messages
C
Coming through in spurts and mumbles
[Ending]:
