ONE CHILD 独生子女
VERSE 1
In a land of a billion what’s a few hundred million?
Empty buildings, cement on the ceilings
Cut the lifeline and left a population reeling
Breaking off the future without thinking of the children
I heard a girl cry, saw a boy laugh
Saw the future turn white in a camera flash
As the camera snaps, it all blows past
No more light now, it’s growin all black
See the future but can’t make it change
So I say my prayers for those who aren’t of age
As behind closed eyes I see the unmarked graves
And I, try to smile, but my expression’s — changed
What will they do with the playgrounds
When the ones who used to play there don’t come round
And there’s no one to replace them
A generation crying out because we couldn’t save them
Who will wash them, who will bathe them?
Commemorate them in their last days?
And in a mother’s eyes, and a father’s face
I glimpse a painting that was left untraced
