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
