China

Joan Baez

In the month of May, in the glory of the day 
Came the descendants of a hundred flowers 
And their fight it did begin with the aging Mandarin 
And they fought with an extraordinary power 
Everyone was smiling, their hearts were one 
In Tiananmen Square 

But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing 
Came just before the Fall 
There was no summer at all 
In Tiananmen Square 
China... China 

There's peace in the emerald fields, there's mist upon the lakes 
But something is afoot in the People's Hall 
The spirit of Chu Ping is alive in young Chai Ling 
And the Emperor has his back against the wall 
Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square 
Over Tiananmen Square 

But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing 
Came just before the Fall 
There was no summer at all 
In Tiananmen Square 
China... China 

In the month of June, in the darkness of the moon 
Went the descendants of a hundred flowers 
And time may never tell how many of them fell 
Like the petals of a rose in some satanic shower 
Everyone was weeping in all of China 
And Tiananmen Square 

But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing 
Came just before the Fall 
There was no summer at all 
In Tiananmen Square 
China... China 

And even the moon on the fourth day of June 
Hid her face and did not see 
Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square 

And Wang Wei Lin, you remember him 
All alone he stood before the tanks 
A shadow of forgotten ancestors in Tiananmen Square 

And my blue-eyed son, you had no one 
You could call a hero of your age 
You have the rainbow warriors of Tiananmen Square, singing 
China Shall Be Free 
China Shall Be Free 
China Shall Be Free
