Tai Shan |
High on the sacred mountain |
Up the seven thousand stairs |
In the golden light of autumn |
There was magic in the air |
Clouds surrounded the summit |
The wind blew strong and cold |
Among the silent temples |
And the writing carved in gold |
Somewhere in my instincts |
The primitive took hold… |
I stood at the top of the mountain |
And China sang to me In the peaceful haze of harvest time |
A song of eternity -- |
If you raise your hands to heaven |
You will live a hundred years |
I stood there like a mystic |
Lost in the atmosphere |
The clouds were suddenly parted |
For a moment I could see |
The patterns of the landscape |
Reaching to the eastern sea |
I looked upon a presence |
Spanning forty centuries… |
I thought of time and distance |
The hardships of history |
I heard the hope and the hunger |
When China sang to me… |
