China gate, China gate,
China gate, China gate,
Many dreams, and many hearts,
You separate...
Like two arms, open wide.
Some you welcome in,
And some must stay outside...
Bowl of rice, bitter tea.
Is this all the good earth has
To offer me?
Will I find, peace of mind
Does my true love,
Wait behind the China gate?
China gate, China gate, China gate
China gate, China gate,
Many dreams, and many hearts,
You separate...
Like two arms, open wide.
Some you welcome in,
And some must stay outside...
Bowl of rice, bitter tea.
Is this all the good earth has
To offer me?
Will I find, peace of mind
Does my true love,
Wait behind the China gate?
China gate, China gate, China gate
