Hello Qi Han, I just left a comment with the words to my latest song about the earthquake. I haven't recorded it yet, but if you are interested you can here me play it this week on CRI and Beijing Radio. I will be on CRI on Wednesday from 10-11 and BJ Radio on Friday from 3-4. If you want to hear some of my other music sooner -- it is all American county music and all about my life and experience in China -- you can find it on www.perfspot.com/MarkLevine. Please tell me what you think. MARK
Earthquake, Earthquake
Words and Music by Mark Levine
(Dedicated to the victims and survivors of the Wenchuan Earthquake)
The earthquake measured 7.8
On May the 12th, that was the date
12,000 people met their fate
In a scene beyond belief.
When the earth moved, many people died
As India and Asia did collide
And the pictures showed that the living cried
For the dead who were beside them.
CHORUS
Earthquake, earthquake, why did you come?
Earthquake, earthquake, look what you’ve done.
You will not drive us to defeat.
The people’s spirit you will not beat.
Of our hopes and dreams, you will not cheat.
In the year 2008
Factories fell and schools did too
People trapped, waited for a breakthrough
Nine hundred students, beneath their classroom
And there, they met their doom.
Roads were blocked, people couldn’t get through
Phones and power lines, were gone too
People did what they had to do
To work despite their grief.
CHORUS
Earthquake, earthquake, why did you come?
Earthquake, earthquake, look what you’ve done.
You will not drive us to defeat.
The people’s spirit you will not beat.
Of our hopes and dreams, you will not cheat.
In the year 2008
You will not drive us to defeat.
The people’s spirit you will not beat.
Of our hopes and dreams, you will not cheat.
In the year 2008
