    While I may not be of Pacific Islander blood, (I'm Japanese) I live, and have for my entire life, in Hawaii... this is proof that our ocean does not separate us, but unites us in common humanity.

      @@vdotme Unfortunately there is no written word for the song. It was made by a Tongan soldier in WWII. A man named Captain Heneli (Henry) Taliai who sacrificed himself to take out a small Japanese base in the Solomon Islands buying time for American troops to arrive for reinforcements. He knew it would be his last time seeing his men so he sang his death song and his soldiers caught on and sang along with him as the lyrics are repetitive. A constant reminder to his men to NEVER fear, but to live and die by Tonga's values. To walk in the light of God both in life and in death. Damn proud of my Heritage.
      Tongan:

      It’s a Tongan Christian song called “Light of God” according to the 2:05. “Be grateful and sing with Joy as you journey and travel in the Light. You journey in the light, we journey, in the light, we journey in the light, we journey in the light of the Lord.” That’s the chorus.
