We smelled your soup on the fire cooking |
|
We saw your toys and your pencils looking bright |
|
So bright and yet they come from oh so far away |
|
We heard your flags and your banners flapping |
|
We felt the air from from your hands all clapping time |
|
In time, I'm sure your time is not so far away |
|
|
|
Millions, all moving forward |
|
Millions, all babbling crossword |
|
Millions, all flow at water |
|
Millions, all bright with laughter |
|
He make you glowing |
|
He bake you golden like a yangtse mud |
|
|
|
I saw your writing on paper landing |
|
Your stamps showed bridges and temples standing still |
|
So still, and yet they're standing oh so far away |
|
I saw you asking for western thinking |
|
I say it's poison that you'll be drinking |
|
Stay as East, as far away as dreams will let you be |
