[00:07.68] --Great Big Wall in China--
[00:30.36] You can tell a flower to bloom
[00:48.86] On the other side of the moon
[00:51.16] But for you and me it's hard to see her glory in the sun
[00:58.62] Even if she climbs high into an ashen sky
[01:06.84] A fading light for out of sight
[01:12.92] will signal her blooming day
[01:27.38]
[01:27.62] So a spaceship we must build
[01:32.00] Set off from our window sill
[01:40.98] The journey's long to carry on, especially in the dark
[01:51.09] Even if we ask a distant star where the blooming flowers are
[01:59.55] She may shoot us back on her jumbled ray
[02:08.01] To the land from whence we came
[02:09.37] But from space we'll see
[02:13.55]
[02:13.70] They built a great big wall in China
[02:16.84] Built it up to the pearly gates
[02:20.09] I wanna land right beside her
[02:24.37] Hither come what may
[02:59.21] The storyteller stands
[03:04.85] Upon the city gate and says,
[03:06.14] “I too have seen a coming dream
[03:13.97] I talked to stars
[03:18.85] Got close to mars, and
[03:24.38] Got shot back to where we are
[03:34.89] I wish all could see what I have seen
[03:48.15] The trembling light of a distant flower in the night”
[03:55.72]
[05:37.68][04:13.16][03:55.92] They built a great big wall in China
[05:40.51][04:14.66][03:59.36] Built it up to the pearly gates
[04:17.49][04:02.79] Gotta take down the banner boys
[04:21.49][04:09.68] Hope it's not too late
[06:07.40][06:01.02][05:56.66]
