Braddah Iz
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now the pain is finally gone
You can rest easy my friend
Your life was filled with tears and joy
It was bittersweet till the end
Although you life is over
but in our hearts you will always be
Braddah Iz was a man, a man, of Hawai'i
So you can glide on the wind
Swim the deep blue sea
Fly with the seabird from Ni'ihau to Hawai'i
Braddah Iz was a big, big man
But his heart was bigger than he
He gave his love and aloha, to the people, of Hawai'i
So I part here with you my friend
Your wife and daughter and your family
The aloha comes from all over the world
From Japan to Washington DC
Although your life has ended
But in our hearts you will always be
Braddah Iz was a man, a man, of Hawai'i
