Three years ago I raised a banner in Tiananmen.
It was shining like gold with Chinese characters ”Zhen, Shan, Ren”*.
For that I was arrested, and sent away to a place they’re calling the devils den.
They told me when I got there: ”Here you’ll suffer, and no one walks out alive.”
I’ve been beaten black and blue. You don’t wanna know what I’ve been through.

Well I have… Climbed the mountains and the hills, I’ve crossed many rivers.
They can never break my will, they can’t make me waver.

What hurts me most is when I’m thinking ’bout my worried mum.
And in my dirty cell I got a picture of my son.
I miss his smile and laughter, but I know that some day’s gonna come.
When we can walk hand in hand together, on the road of freedom.
I will leave without a trace. No more dark and cloudy days.

Sharp and shining like hardened steel, diamond-like forever.
They can never break my will, they can’t make me waver.

* The Chinese words for the core principles of Falun Gong – Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance
