bali hai
most people live on a lonely island lost in the middle of a foggy sea most people long for another island one where they know they would like to be
bali ha'i may call you any night any day in your heart you'll hear it call you: "come away, come away."
bali ha'i will whisper on the wind of the sea "here am i, your special island! come to me, come to me."
your own special hopes your own special dreams bloom on the hillside and shine in the streams
if you try you'll find me where the sky meets the sea "here am i, your special island! come to me, come to me!"
bali ha'i bali ha'i bali ha'i
"someday you'll see me floating in the sunshine my head sticking out from a low-flying cloud you'll hear me call you singing through the sunshine sweet and clear as can be come to me here am i come to me!"
bali ha'i will whisper on the wind of the sea "here am i, your special island! come to me, come to me."
bali ha'i bali ha'i bali ha'i
original lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II original music by Richard Rodgers from the musical, South Pacific (1949)
This song to me is about the beauty of Bali, the wonder of life and the promise of everlasting life.
"We must remain firm in the face of terror" to protect and preserve the wonder of life in our country and around the globe. We've got a lot of praying to do, meek.
