Everyday is a New Day~

Everyday Is A New Day~~~~written by Kanani Enos  in Dec. 2003
This is one of the first songs I wrote as a new mom, having just given birth to my first son.  We were living in Hilo at the time, the place of his birth up in beautiful Kaumana.  I attended a Christmas party of my dear cousin Kaliko Kahumoku and had a wonderful time with 'ohana.  It was my first time being at a pa'ina as a mom with baby in tow. I was feeling my new place in this world as a mother, as well as feeling so honored with this new kuleana, or job, responsibility.  I definitely felt overwhelmed when I came home that day.  Looking at my son napping, on a warm Hawaiian December afternoon..the words came to me, as well as the melody, and I was beyond thankful.  I feel it was a message for him, for my 'ohana, for me...for anyone needing to know that everyday indeed is a new day......you are not alone.....imua! This song is on my first debut album, Aloha I Ho'okena. 

Everyday is a new day
Just keep moving forward
Everyday is a new day
Hold your head up high
Do your best in everything
Be yourself and smile
With Aloha in your heart
There's nothing you can't do..

Don't forget your kupuna
They're standing by your side
Waiting there to guide you
Throw your fears aside...

Everyday is a new day
Just keep moving forward
Everyday is a new day
Hold your head up high
Sing your songs to everyone
For the keiki of this land
With Aloha in your heart
There's nothing you can't do

Don't forget your kupuna
They're standing by your side
Waiting there to guide you
Spread your wings and fly...

Everyday is a new day
Just keep moving forward
Everyday is a new day
Hold your head up high
Do your best in everything
Be yourself and smile
With Aloha in your heart
There's nothing you can't do....
