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
