Idol Winner Iam Tongi Sings Lyrics to 'Starting All Over Again' in Support of Maui Wildfire Victims
September 01, 2023
American Idol winner and Hawaii native Iam Tongi lent his beautiful voice to the lyrics of 'Starting All Over Again' to show his support of those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Hawaii.
In 2023, wildfires ravaged the state of Hawaii. More specifically, the fires devastated the island of Maui, killing more than 100 people and causing billions of dollars in damage, according to the Scientific American. There’s no doubt that those people who have been affected by those fires need plenty of prayer and financial donations to help them survive this tragedy.

“Starting all over again is going to be tough
For us, but we’re gonna make it
Starting all over again is going to be rough
On us, but we gotta face it”
Later in the clip, Iam sings that he understands that rebuilding and starting all over again will be hard but he is praying to the Lord above for His help and guidance.
Before his performance on the morning show, Iam told Michael Strahan what people could do to help the residents of Hawaii. He told people to research and donate to those trustworthy organizations working to assist those in need.
The young man also asked people to reach out to the Lord on behalf of the people of Hawaii. He told viewers to “say prayers for Maui.”
