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.
