On behalf of the Eads ohana: mahalo for supporting global aloha day!

"ALOHA IS
Aloha is a promise the sun will shine again,
Bringing fresh hopes and dreams,
With each new day that begins.
Aloha is the sunlight,
Shining through the darkness,
Giving strength, giving strength, to all we do.
Aloha is His grace, walking in the sunlight,
Feeling the beauty of life,
Feeling the beauty of life.
Aloha is His helping hand,
His warm and comforting voice.
It is peace, be with you,
In Love forever and always.
Aloha is the mind, the heart,
In perfect harmony,
It’s tenderness and love,
Deep in the heart of Hawaii.
Aloha is Hawaii, Hawaii is Aloha,
Hawaii is Aloha ia oe, I love you,
Aloha au ia oe Hawaii, I love you.
ALOHA"
Lyrics by Pilahi Paki/music by Jay Larrin/vocals by Moe Keale; from the recordings, “Aloha Is A Part Of You, A Part Of Me,” by Moe Keale
