and fill the bottom in. And maybe now some lead guitar
so it would not sound so thin.

and help me keep in time.
And way back in the distance,
some strings would sound so fine.”

They’ve shared scarce resources of food and water. They’ve organized shelters, provided free medical care, and looked out for their most vulnerable citizens. One man put it simply: “It’s a Japanese thing. When hard times hit, we have to help each other.””
