Oh every time I close my eyes I see my name in shining lights

Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid.
There's always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.
