Okinawa / Ubud
Everybody had their babies
When we drove up to your old home
I still thought I needed saving
So I snuck off to be alone, alone
In this once jungle landscape
You have got to watch the cars
Here our parents dreamed of escape
Now all their dreams are ours, ours
I stood beneath the mountain
With all my tiny disappointments
And when the mountain caught them
There was music in the distance
Okinawa
In this life I want for nothing
Always walk beneath the sunlight
Never felt a day of hunger
Unless the choice was mine, mine
I stood beneath the mountain
With all my years of being a person
And when the mountain caught them
There was something like a rhythm
Okinawa
It goes slower and faster
It goes softer and harder
It follows the wind
With its cycles
It slows down and it speeds up again
At the heart of the mountain
There is a cave
With all the voices of people
Who have spoken its name
If you sing to the mountain
You'll be clean as the rain
That's too simple for me
But I'll take it, I'll take it
One more night until the city
I feel like it might have changed
From my window I hear drumming
It's just another day, day
Okinawa
Okinawa
Okinawa
Okinawa
