Born in Tibet, twenty years old Mother China Has razed the land's soul Om mani padme Om mani Om I pray for release Lord Chenrezig Going down to the ground Yeah
Hand write the signs Expose the lies Hand write the signs For time to overthrow They traced my words back to my front door Taken in chains To prison, I go Going down to the ground Yeah
They hang me from my hands Chenrezig They break bones Chenrezig Protect me from hate Chenrezig And make me strong Chenrezig Please forgive them They know not what they do Protect me from hate
Born in Tibet, now twenty-five Skin hangs on my bones I'm barely alive Though I smile I'll never feel sane After all these years We still wait for freedom Going down to the ground Yeah
