China |
| In the month of May, in the glory of the day |
| Came the descendants of a hundred flowers |
| And their fight it did begin with the aging Mandarin |
| And they fought with an extraordinary power |
| Everyone was smiling, their hearts were one |
| In Tiananmen Square |
| But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing |
| Came just before the Fall |
| There was no summer at all |
| In Tiananmen Square |
| China… China |
| There’s peace in the emerald fields, there’s mist upon the lakes |
| But something is afoot in the People’s Hall |
| The spirit of Chu Ping is alive in young Chai Ling |
| And the Emperor has his back against the wall |
| Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square |
| Over Tiananmen Square |
| But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing |
| Came just before the Fall |
| There was no summer at all |
| In Tiananmen Square |
| China… China |
| In the month of June, in the darkness of the moon |
| Went the descendants of a hundred flowers |
| And time may never tell how many of them fell |
| Like the petals of a rose in some satanic shower |
| Everyone was weeping in all of China |
| And Tiananmen Square |
| But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing |
| Came just before the Fall |
| There was no summer at all |
| In Tiananmen Square |
| China… China |
| And even the moon on the fourth day of June |
| Hid her face and did not see |
| Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square |
| And Wang Wei Lin, you remember him |
| All alone he stood before the tanks |
| A shadow of forgotten ancestors in Tiananmen Square |
| And my blue-eyed son, you had no one |
| You could call a hero of your age |
| You have the rainbow warriors of Tiananmen Square, singing |
| China Shall Be Free |
| China Shall Be Free |
| China Shall Be Free |
