China, Come Awaken

China, come awaken

from your sleep

the seeds you sow

now the poison you reap.

Soon your hour

will come to pass

the truth finding light

freedom from the shadows at last.



China, from clouds grey

to a new sunrise

a star shining gold

emerging from darkest skies.

With a heart broken

tears too bitter to weep

behind walls and blinded eyes

come, awaken from your sleep.
