Do you remember that day back in 1989?
In Beijing some kids built a statue in a square..
They made it out of paper
And they sang songs in the street
They only wanted to be heardand a new age to greet
They didn't call it revolution
They didn't call nobody wrong..
In that moment a bright promise bloomedbut the old guard stood opposed
It was then that the lines were drawnbut lines of battle, none supposed
Then in came the artillaryand in their way stood one man..
He held back all the tankswith his bare, upheld hands
Then the tv crews were all scatteredso no blood was shown on no hands
Do you remember that day back in 1989?
In Beijing a statue was burned in a square..
But nothing really happenedwhatever the secret envoys all ignored
It was then that the slate was wiped cleanas clean as they could afford
To hell with those who care to forgetthose who died on that day..
Do you remember that day back in 1989?
In Beijing some kids built a statue in a square..sallysally@usa.net
