0:19Take a journey back in time
0:27Leave the western world behind
0:35Cross the mountains to peking
0:43Where the paper laterns gently swing
0:51The chinese way
0:54Who knows what they know
0:55The chinese way
0:59The chinese way
1:01Who knows what they know
1:03The chinese way
1:07My eyes wide open
1:11I feel a breeze
1:15Words softly spoken
1:19In cantonese
1:22Standing at the masters side
1:30The with patience he confides
1:38Secret knowledge sacred ways
1:46Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days
1:54I could never lie
1:58For honour I would lie
2:02Following the chinese way
2:10So many years ago heros ruled the world
2:16Some died for love in a cruel world
2:49I could never lie
2:53For honour I would lie
2:57Following the chinese way
3:12From the mountains to peking
3:20Where the paper laterns gently swing
3:29The chinese way
3:31Who knows what they know
3:33The chinese way
3:37The chinese way
3:39Who knows what they know
3:41The chinese way
3:45The chinese way
3:47Who knows what they know
3:48The chinese way
3:52The chinese way
3:54Who knows what they know
Take a journey back in time Leave the western world behind Cross the mountains to peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese way The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese way My eyes wide open I feel a breeze Words softly spoken In cantonese Standing at the masters side The with patience he confides Secret knowledge sacred ways Paerls of wisdom from the dragon days I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the chinese way So many years ago heros ruled the world Some died for love in a cruel world I could never lie For honour I would lie Following the chinese way From the mountains to peking Where the paper laterns gently swing The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese way The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese way The chinese way Who knows what they know The chinese way The chinese way Who knows what they know
