I know lifeʻs been hard, and the road so rocky
You've always had a way
of turning dark clouds into sunny days
I know are lives are so much better
since you came, came into our lives

Sister Kortney's got a heart of gold
And a smile that so contagious
Itʻs so hard to say goodbye
When we've got tears flowing from our eyes
(But we got to say)

Mahalo nui loa faʻafetai
For brightening up for brightening up
for brightening up our lives I say
Mahalo nui loa faʻafetai
For showing us love, for showing us so much love in our lives

I see the swell, come rolling in, into the shore
As the waves hit the reef, sit and wonder why?
Your life was so brief
I know our lives are so much better
since you came, came into our lives

On this bright morning, yes, your work is over
Yes you've gone, gone and fly away home

Mahalo nui loa faʻafetai
For brightening up for brightening up
for brightening up our lives I say
Mahalo nui loa faʻafetai
For showing us love, for showing us so much love in our lives
Oh yeah, oh yeah, eh, eh, eh, eh
