A china doll placed in a big white house
Just watching time go by
little hands moving littler feet
just to make the time fly
She smiles, her eyes unwatering
desperation taking hold
she sees the children grow up
time stealing what she knows
little arms, stuck in place
unless someone helps her out
unmoving hips, silent lips
though she wishes she could shout
She sees her country moving forward
and it makes her really proud
though through her lips, no song erupts
she longs to sing out loud
Ghosts of memories haunt human minds
but for her its all so clear
So as the fire fades her life
She sheds an invisible tear
