about

A song based on the tragic events at Tiananmen Square, June 5, 1989

lyrics

Strong voices, now silent
Where are they now?
Cold silence, now ringing
Drowned out the sounds

Around the world
Look the other way
A frightened game
This game we play

Tell me I’m wrong
I don’t know
Your hearts grow cold
Have our eyes grown so old
Tell me I’m wrong
The future speaks
The seeds are sown
This has not been in vain

Young faces
They speak their minds
New freedom is bleeding’
Weakens and falls

The line was drawn
The anger showed
The shots rang out
From uncaring souls

Tell me I’m wrong
No need to change
Your time has gone
Have your thoughts grown so old
Tell me I’m wrong
The future speaks
The seeds are sown this has not been in vain

Some change is hard to bear
Sometimes it’s just not fair
This ain’t no party
This life you give to me
Your ways are old and drawn
No touch no sympathy
I want a new life
I want a new life

It’s time to reach out
Give a helping hand
Show a little love
Show a little love
No time to back out
Hide your head in the sand
Show a little love
Show a little love

The future speaks
The seeds are sown
No more uncaring souls

Tell me I’m wrong
I don’t know
Your hearts grow cold
Have our eyes grown so old
Tell me I’m wrong
The future speaks
The seeds are sown, this has not been vain

Tell me I’m wrong
Tell me I’m wrong
