Mei Mei Lyrics

Mei Mei lyrics

Mama I don't want to run away You know that I could never stay If this letter
never reaches home I wave goodbye to you and mei mei You know the placards and
the common way You wore the hat that never fades You know the hatred for the
grave Of everything you lost that day The rice grows faster than the hands can
cut it down I can see it rising in the wind Withered palaces will never stop
the rain from falling In between the cracks until the cracks turn into veins
Flowing through another reign Don't fear the truth that holds the world away
Don't fly the flag that never waves I saw a soldier with his gun Listening to
the v.o.a. I curse the poster in the people's way I curse the bottle to its
grave And even so I know this rage Connects me with the ones I hate Time will
lay its peonies upon your bed Fate will hold you helpless in its net And like a
quickly fading song How soon the world forgets
