Never Forget Where I'm From

This song goes out to all the brothers and sisters out there

Who have been away from the islands for too long

Whether you moved away, or at college, or just on a long vacation

We know how you feel

Feels like longer than forever, yeah

My home is now a distant land

If I had one wish

I wish I could be

Back on that rock in the middle of the sea

My heart is calling me to the islands

Blue skies and tropical breeze

I wanna go back home

To swim in that Pacific sea

You can take the boy from the island

But not the island from the boy

'Cause the island stays in your heart

And I'll never forget where I'm from

Oh no, I'll never forget

No, I'll never forget

I miss the local grinds

You know what kind I mean

Lau lau, lomi salmon, and yes, kalua pig

L&L plate lunch

Ooh, what a winner

Call the brothers up

"Hai, we go pa'ina"

My heart is calling me to the islands

Blue skies and tropical breeze

I wanna go back home

To swim in that Pacific sea

You can take the boy from the island

But not the island from the boy

'Cause the island stays in your heart

And I'll never forget where I'm from

Oh no, I'll never forget where I'm from

No, I'll never forget

Coming from this island

Yes, the island's where I'm from

Love the local girls

'Cause they all know they're my one

I kick it back and just relax

The place I wanna be

'Cause when I leave this island

I'll be sorry that I left you, yes

And I will never forget you, no, no

Forget you, no, no

Me never let you go

Yes, me can't stop, won't stop

'Til me find my way back home

And when me return, return

To the island finally

Move you like the ocean

And I'm sorry that I left you, yes

And I will never forget you, no, no

No, no

My heart is calling me to the islands

Blue skies and tropical breeze

I wanna go back home

To swim in that Pacific sea

You can take the boy from the island

But not the island from the boy

'Cause the island stays in your heart

And I'll never forget where I'm from

Oh no, I'll never forget

Forget you, no, no

Me never let you go

Me say me can't stop, won't stop

'Til me find my way back home

And when me return, return

To the island finally

Move you like the ocean

And I'm sorry that I left you

Forget you, no, no

Me never let you go

Me say me can't stop, won't stop

'Til me find my way back home

And when me return, return

To the island finally

Move you like the ocean

And I'm sorry that I left you

Forget you, no, no

Me never let you go

Me say me can't stop, won't stop

'Til me find my way back home
