Irrepressible (無法抑制的)

20th July will mark 24 years since the Chinese Communist Party began its brutal and pointless attempt to suppress the Falun Gong meditation practice.

I remember the word 'Irrepressible' from the Monkey TV series I watched as a child, I think it captures the courage shown by those in China who have resisted persecution for so long.

Lyrics written today:
C F
You cannot keep the flower down,
G C
That has the will to rise,
Em Am
You cannot kill the courage,
F G
That lifts hope to the skies.

C Em
You can try to stifle freedom,
F G
And lock the truth away,
F C
True nature is unstoppable,
F G C
It will always find the way.

You cannot silence honesty,
Though you use a hundred lies,
You cannot cage defiant hearts,
From your hands the truth will fly,

You can burn the books and close the doors,
But you cannot stop the tide,
The righteous way will still return,
However hard you try to hide.

The flower toils quietly,
Through water, mud and stone,
Tiny step by tiny step,
Till it stands above alone,

You may stamp out a single bud,
Or cut some blossoms down,
But the treasure of a million seeds,
Is one you can never drown.
