Blood Is On The Square 

By Phillip Morgan

A song was heard in China in the city of Beijing
In the spring of 1989, you could hear the people sing,
And it was a song of freedom that was ringing in the square
The world could feel passion of people gathered there
Oh children, blood is on the square
　　
For many nights and many days Waiting in the square
“To build a better nation“ was the song that echoed there
“For We are China’s children. We love our native land
For brotherhood and freedom we are joining hand in hand“
Oh children, blood is on the square
　　
Then came the People’s Army with trucks and tanks and guns
The government was frightened of their daughters and their sons
But in the square was courage and a vision true and fair
The army of the people would not harm the young ones there
Oh children, blood is on the square
　　
On June the 3rd in China in the spring of ’89
An order came from high above and passed on down the line
The soldiers opened fire, young people bled and died
The blood of thousands on the square that lies can never hide
Oh children, blood is on the square
　　
For four more days of fury, the people faced the guns
How many thousands slaughtered when their grisly work was done
They quickly burned the bodies to hide their coward’s shame
but blood is thick upon their hands and darkness on their names
Oh children, blood is on the square
　　
Therw are tears that flow in China for her children that are gone
There is fear, there is hiding, for the killing still goes on
The iron hand of terror can buy silence for today
But the blood that lies upon the square cannot be washed away
Oh children, blood is on the square
Oh children, blood is on the square
Oh children, blood is on the square
