My heart cries
for the countless children
whose families have been torn apart.
For the countless voices
that have suffered under silence
in a world still finding its heart.My heart cries
for the countless crimes
condoned and boldly denied.
For the countless years
many millions have faced
a country in cold divide.My heart cries
for the countless dreams
hopes of children betrayed.
For the countless times
we have turned our eyes blind
and the end to injustice delayed.My heart cries
for the countless victims
innocence lost and defiled.
For the countless tears
still to cry and fall
China, a land too long beguiled.
