Lyrics and Music by Anders Eriksson
Vocals by "Yellow Express" (Swedish Band)
Background:
The songwriter made a few trips to China in years prior to the persecution. He met many Falun Gong practitioners, and was touched by their altruistic behavior at the time. Since the persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999, he wonders what happened to all the friends he met. Parts of the song "Walk On" describes the story of Falun Gong practitioners who walked to Tiananmen Square in Beijing from all around the country. Some even wore out pairs of shoes, just so they can peacefully appeal to the government in Beijing to stop persecuting Falun Gong.
Lyrics:
They put my wife into prison.
They beat her up until she went insane.
It reminds me of the time way back then,
Of all the sorrows, and so much pain.
I can see Yellow River is turning red.
So many tortured and thousands are dead.
Chorus:
Some worn out shoes.
That's all I own.
And I've been walking all night long.
China, what's gone wrong?
Yeah I wonder what's gone wrong.
The road is long to Tiananmen Square,
But I don't mind.
I will make it there.
And tell the whole wide world our leader's wrong in persecuting Falun Gong.
Well the Tai Shan Mountain, is shedding its tears.
Seen so much violence for thousands of years.
Chorus:
Some worn out shoes.
That's all I own.
And I've been walking all night long.
China, what's gone wrong?
Yeah I wonder what's gone wrong.
Chorus:
Walk on, walk on!
People, wake up from the illusion!
Walk on, Walk on, Walk on!
Stop the persecution!
[Read in Chinese]
As one body we have been walking thousands and thousands of miles.
We have been walking through the major cities in the world.
We have been walking for our freedom and for our human rights.
We have been walking to Beijing and to Tiananmen Square.
We have stood up for Zhen Shan Ren.
For that we have been persecuted.
But we will never give up.
We will keep on walking until the persecution is over.
Stop the persecution!
Walk on, walk on!
People, wake up from the illusion!
Walk on, Walk on, Walk on!
Stop the persecution!
