Proud as the Sun

[Verse 1]
Just as it sets
We will be there when it rises
As sure as it is as high as it stands
Out of the shadows
To our destiny
Because we were raised to be

[Chorus]
We are proud as the sun
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
Proud as the sun
Rays on the water (rays on the water, water)
Rays on the water (water)
The light of a nation
We are proud as the sun

[Verse 2]
Our guiding star comes from the east
And we'll navigate back home across the sea
Oh, the clouds may cover
Let the rain wash away
Let our warmth remain

[Chorus]
'Cause we are
Proud as the sun
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
Proud as the sun
Rays on the water (rays on the water, water)
Rays on the water (water)
The light of a nation
We are proud as the sun

[Bridge]
Kū'ena ka lā
E kū, e kū
Kū mai nā kini
E kū, e kū
E ku'u kulāiwa
E ku'u lāhui
Kū mai nā kini
E kū

[Chorus]
'Cause we are proud as the sun
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
We will catch fire (we will catch fire, fire)
Proud as the sun
Rays on the water (rays on the water, water)
For our sons and daughters
The light of a nation
We are proud as the sun

[Outro]
Kū'ena ka lā
E kū, e kū
Kū mai nā kini
E kū, e kū
