向一位美國佔領期間的沖繩樂⼈以及琉球文化中的「祝女」致敬。靈感來⾃「祝女」們維持著皇族與村落命脈與健康的關鍵——「火」(象徵生命的延續),⽽這位沖繩樂⼈的⾳樂正如祝女的火一般鼓舞著⼈們。
Help me understand the howling of the wind
Help me understand the ocean's song
When the bombs fell, my mama held me in her arms
Then, suddenly, in a flash, she was gone
If this new world should forsake you
I'll be there to see you through
Come gather kindling for the fire
Watch me shine like the moon
Help me to sing out every single word
Help me as I lead the band
Guide me home when the streets are dark
Pistol in my pocket, flowers in my hand
Once I loved a woman
She told me “This life I’m living, I did not choose…
But I know someday I'll get back to the fire”
Watch me shine like the moon
It’s been a long time since rock and roll was born
It’s been a long time since the War began
Been a long time since I’ve left my home
Now I'm dancing for the beggars, making castles out of sand
If this new world should forsake you
The keepers of the fire will see you through
Like that wheel in endless motion
Watch us shine like the moon
