Constellations Lyrics

Cover art for Constellations lyrics by Jack Johnson

The stars up in the sky are one of the most important things to the culture of Hawai'i. If you're Hawaiian, your family is up there in the stars. Hawaiian canoe navigators use stars and the winds to travel across the Pacific Ocean, without any modern instruments.

If you ever get a chance to come to Hawai'i, you will see that out in the country, the sky is amazing and you will see the most beautiful stars out there. The Kamani tree is a tree that could grow along the shore, and what better place to tell stories of ancient times using the constellations than a Kamani tree. This song is amazing.
