[Intro | Male lead | Immediate vocal | Gentle reggae groove] Filipino boy, Ukrainian girl Two different roads in a great big world (Female: Who knew where love would lead?) From working side by side to everything they’d need! [Verse 1 | Warm male vocal | Bouncing bass] They met at Catch, working side by side Sharing long shifts, with nothing to hide A joke here, a laugh there, day after day Somewhere along the way, friendship came to stay He wasn’t looking, neither was she Just two good friends, as close as could be But love has a way of changing the view And one day forever looked like something they could do (Female: So who made the first move?) (Male: Now that’s a story for another tune!) [Pre-Chorus | Female response | Gospel harmonies building] (Male: Can you feel that sunshine?) (Female: Oh, I feel it in my soul!) (Male: Can you hear that ocean?) (Choir: Let the good times roll!) [Chorus | Full gospel harmonies | Joyful island reggae] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! A little bit of aloha And a brand-new family! Filipino boy, Ukrainian girl Found their love in a great big world Raise your hands, let the good love flow Two hearts together, wherever they go! (Choir: Oh, let it flow!) (Female: Nice and slow!) [Verse 2 | Relaxed reggae groove | Warm harmonies] Now they’re home in the Miami sun Building a life that’s just begun Making their plans as the days unfold With a little heartbeat and a future to hold A little girl they’ve yet to meet Already making their lives complete Tiny hands and a brand-new smile So much to discover, mile after mile (Male: You ready for forever?) (Female: With you? Every day!) (Choir: Let love lead the way!) [Pre-Chorus | Organ and handclaps] From best of friends to a family of three Funny how love finds its own melody And if heaven’s got a rhythm, I think I know It’s that easy island reggae flow! [Chorus | Full choir | Warm and uplifting] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! A little bit of aloha And a brand-new family! Filipino boy, Ukrainian girl Found their love in a great big world Raise your hands, let the good love flow Two hearts together, wherever they go! [Bridge | Gospel breakdown | Gentle Hammond organ | Intimate soulful vocal] Now on the islands where the warm winds blow They stand together where the blue waves roll With sand beneath their feet and love in their eyes They make their promise beneath Hawaiian skies They call to the four winds, the mountains, the sea For the spirits to bless the family they’ll be The waves bear witness, the mountains stand As they begin forever, hand in hand [Brief pause | Soft vocal | Gentle choir entering] And somewhere beneath that endless blue A little heart is growing, a dream coming true Three lives together, one beautiful start An island blessing they’ll carry in their hearts [Instrumental Break | Short melodic slack-key guitar | Rolling bass | Warm organ accents] [Final Chorus | Full joyful gospel choir | Handclaps | Uplifting wedding celebration] Hallelujah for the sunshine! Hallelujah for the sea! Every wave’s a blessing For the family they will be! A Filipino boy, a Ukrainian girl Two best friends in a beautiful world They met at Catch, never knowing they’d find The best kind of love had been growing all the time! (Choir: Oh, let it shine!) (Female: This love of yours and mine!) [Outro | Playful male and female duet | Softening gospel harmonies] Two hearts, one road So much love, so much to hold From Miami skies to Hawaii’s shore A little girl and a lifetime more (Male: So who got the better catch?) (Female: I think we both did!) (Choir: Aloha, aloha, let love lead the way!) [End | Gentle reggae fade]
