This is a song that embodies the essence of Hawaii. The word 'Kuleana' is a traditional and important word in Hawaiian native culture.
It loosely translates to 'responsibility' but the meaning goes much deeper and the word embodies a whole way of thinking. It includes not only duty and responsibility, but also honour, privilege and gratitude involved in carrying out this responsibility. It is a shift in perspective of responsibility that allows one to truly think about what they are doing, and how they're doing it, and to move from a place of gratitude.
