China Rising
A star is rising again in the east.
Remember the Tang and the Song.
Thank God it's rising peacefully.
Now there's a bit of a novelty.
Remember the Tang and the Song.
A new golden age is rising again.
Now there's a bit of a novelty.
Have we ever seen that before?
A new golden age is rising again.
Thank God it's rising peacefully.
Have we ever seen that before?
A star is rising again in the east.
