Danced with wind and danced with fire Killed the truth and called the liar Bleeding in its mystery when the moon began to fall Dreamers are not all they seem, Sleeping in her silent dream She locks it all inside and hides it all away China, China Calling out to history Is that the way it will always be? China, China Questions in my hand, and then Answers gone till I don't know when verse: All you speak and all you hear Hand that's strong and voice it's clear An unforgotten memory when the moon begins to call Called you right and called you wrong Time, the shadow, sings your song Don't lock it all inside and hide it all away China, China 4x
