BLOOD IS ON THE SQUARE
A Song for the people of China
Lyricist: Phillp Morgan Composer: Phillp Morgan
a song was heard in China
in the city of beijing
in the spring of 19 '8 '9
you can hear the people sing
and it was the song of freedom
that was ringing in the square
the world could feel the passion of
the people gather there
oh children,blood is on the square
for many nights and many days
waiting in the square
"to build a better nation"
was the song that echoed there
"for we are China's children,
we love our native land,
for brotherhood and freedom,
we are joining hand in hand."
oh children,blood is on the square.
then came the people's army,
with trucks and tanks and guns.
the govorment was frightened,
of their daughters and their sons.
but in the square was courage and
a vision true and fair,
the Army of the People would not harm
the young ones there.
oh children,blood is on the square.
on june the 3rd in China,
in the spring of '8 '9,
an order came from high above,
and passed on down the line.
the soldiers open the fire,
young people bled and died,
the blood of thousands on the square
that lies can never hide.
oh children,blood is on the square.
for four more days of fury,
the people faced to the guns.
how many thousands slaughtered
when their grisly work was done?
they quickly borned the bodies,
to hide their coward's shame,
but blood is thick upon their hands and
darkness on their name.
oh children,blood is on the square.
there are tears that flow in China,
for her children that are gone.
there is fear and there is hiding,
for the killing still goes on.
and the iron hand of terror can
buy silence for today,
but the blood that lies upon the square
cannot be washed away.
oh children,blood is on the square.
