Leave the western world behind
Cross the mountains to peking
Where the paper laterns gently swing
The chinese way
Who knows what they know
The chinese legend grows
My eyes wide open
I feel a breeze
Words softly spoken
In cantonese
Standing at the master's side
The with patience he confides
Secret knowledge - sacred ways
Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days
I could never lie
For honour I would lie
Following the chinese way
So many years ago hero's ruled the world
(some died for love in a cruel world)
They were the only ones in a cruel world
I could never lie
For honour I would lie
Following the chinese way
From the mountains to peking
Where the paper laterns gently swing
The chinese way
Who knows what they know
The chinese legend grows
Take a journey back in time Leave the western world behind Cross the mountains to peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese legend grows My eyes wide open I feel a breeze Words softly spoken In cantonese Standing at the master's side The with patience he confides Secret knowledge - sacred ways Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the chinese way So many years ago hero's ruled the world (some died for love in a cruel world) They were the only ones in a cruel world I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the chinese way From the mountains to peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese legend grows Explain Request ×
