The Ocean of Wisdom
Ignore the checkpoints and the chains Sail over the rivers of tears Praise a dream that has given birth to a million nightmares
We resist from our slums You resist from the podium Beloved of Hollywood, Ocean of Wisdom: Can liberated celebrities
David you embrace or Mao The aboriginals were subjugated In Hebrew or in Mandarin The land was appropriated
They’ll hide the sun under your crimson robe Drown the truth in your words of hope
Go! Leave my aching land alone To Lhasa
