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
