lyrics

An ancient world not long ago
Prosperity along a silken road
A wise man leaves 5,000 words
5,000 years, the wonders unheard

Chorus
Mother China, tell me
Where or where can your virtue be found?
The ones whom you’ve raised that carry it on
Are all beaten, raped, and tortured then run out of town
And those grand mountains all call down
Oh why has this happened to you?

This man he does Falun Gong, and just wants to be kind
The country’s leader says he’s out of line, so he might have
Your naked wife thrown into a male jail cell
They beat you a thread from death, light you on fire and then tell the
world it’s suicide.

Chorus
Mother China, tell me
What oh what has happened to you?
The virtues you held, now the ancients look on in disgust
At this murder, at this abuse
And those wide rivers, they ask it too
Oh why has this happened to you?

Chorus
Mother China, please tell me
What oh what has happened to you?
Tell me ‘cuz I can’t understand
Since they carry this virtue for you,
Yet he murders them and lies through and through
Those grand mountains, they know it’s so wrong
Those wide rivers cry on and on
It’s gone too far for too long
Oh why has this happened to you?
