The lyrics of "Sanctuary" by Uncle Charlie talk about the importance of unity and cooperation in society, specifically within Indonesian culture. The first stanza mentions "gotong royong," which refers to the Indonesian cultural practice of working together for a common goal without expectation of reward. The "tradisi luhur" and "warisan budaya bangsa" referenced in the lyrics are both references to the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia, and the need to preserve it.
The chorus of the song consists entirely of the word "Pelagandong," which is believed to be a playful expression of unity and togetherness. The repetition of this word is meant to emphasize the importance of coming together as a community to achieve common goals and maintain a sense of harmony.
The second stanza encourages people to work together with joy and sincerity, without expecting anything in return. The lyrics suggest that this kind of cooperation leads to a peaceful and united society that can work together towards a better future. The final lines of the song encourage listeners to embrace and preserve their cultural traditions, recognizing the beauty and value in their shared heritage.
