great grandfather
where are you heading for?
A package of Chinese history
strawling along
What goes on in his mind
stories and cultures so strong
He kept up straight
while Mao was steeling his faith
With all he had left
he searched for the peace and freedom
his father told him from
Ending up in the Christian lowlands
where water was filling his bones
and light painted homes
Would he think he has accomplished his fathers wishes
Or did they go down the drain
together with the water of his dishes
Passing on the main traditions
keeping up the same conditions
let the dragon hunt the bad spirits
and the fireworks chase them to the dark
Shu shen tan
for every fire we need a spark
I've got to go
catch my train to Chinatown
seek for some believe
wisdom behind dutch curtains
feeling so naieve
Compared to so much strenght
fighting for ideals
speaking so that he doesn't reveal
the secrets from the land he came from
