Peace For Okinawa lyrics
Song lyrics: Peace For Okinawa
Writer: Rob Kajiwara
Published: 22 June 2022
​We're here to build a new base for us to use
We're here to make a stand to remove you strangers from our land

We're here to keep you safe from China, North Korea too
We know that's just not true and who's going to protect us from you

Peace for Okinawa
Please protect the akangwa
Peace for you
And peace for all
Peace for Okinawa

We're here to help and we know what's best for you
This is genocide, two-hundred thousand people died

We hear you but we know much better than you
What are they dying for, a pointless hopeless foreign war

Peace for Okinawa
Please keep safe my angwa
Peace for you
And peace for all
Peace for Okinawa

We're here to help and we know what's best for you
This is genocide, one-third of our friends and family died

We hear you but we know much better than you
What are they dying for, just keep us out of your endless wars

Peace for Okinawa
Please keep safe my angwa
Peace for you
And peace for all
Peace for Okinawa

Peace for Okinawa
Remember Takeshi Onaga
Peace for you
And peace for all
Peace for Okinawa

Peace for you
And peace for all
Peace for Okinawa

Okinawan Terms:

Akangwa: Okinawan word meaning 'baby' or 'babies'

Angwa: Okinawan word meaning 'sister or 'sisters'

Takeshi Onaga: Okinawan governor who died tragically of cancer in 2018, giving his life to oppose the construction of the U.S. military base at Henoko, Okinawa that is destroying an ancient coral reef home to hundreds of rare and endangered species, including the Okinawa dugong.

Song: 'Meant to Be'
Writer: Rob Kajiwara

Lyrics:

It's so unpredictable
The way things turn
The more they teach I think the less I learn

It's so unbelievable
How you found me
You know I'm starting to think that we're meant to be

It's so inconceivable
The way that we are
Is it any wonder how we ever got this far

It's so incomparable
The way that we think
You know I'm starting to think that we're meant to be

Sometimes it's tough I know
To hear what people say
Guess that's just the way it goes
We live it every single day
It's never gonna go away

It's so inexcusable
The things people do
It's almost like we're living in a human zoo

It's so indescribable
To feel so free
You know I've gotta believe that we're meant to be

It's so indescribable
I guarantee
Yeah babe I've gotta believe that we're meant to be

People tend to talk the talk
But hardly offer up
Doesn't matter any more
Don't you drink from that dirty cup
You know we've had enough

It's so undesirable
To be apart
Don't let me be another lonely heart

It's so unbelievable
How you found me
You know I've gotta believe that we're meant to be
Meant to be
Just you and me
Meant to be
