Great Wall Shadows

Lanterns glow they line the street

Stone whispers secrets beneath my feet

Red silk dances in the breeze

A dragon's shadow through the trees

Echoes rise from the market square

Do you hear it do you dare

Great Wall shadows long and tall

Do you feel the weight of it all

History sings in the night

China dreams in the moonlight

Tea leaves swirl in an ancient cup

Time bends but never gives up

Bamboo forests hum a tune

Mountains bow beneath the moon

Jade rivers run they never stay

Winds of the past still find their way

Through temples high and valleys deep

China wakes while the world’s asleep

Great Wall shadows long and tall

Do you feel the weight of it all

History sings in the night

China dreams in the moonlight
