Appeared on Code Name: Jumper and Stories from the Curve

(David Munyon / S.P. Standley)

This song is dedicated to all who seek democracy.

I musta been dreamin' in Beijing, China

On a dark night, Tianenmen Square

I could hear a million Chinese cryin'

And I believe I could hear Buddah swear

I saw the people with their own rock n' roll music

I saw the people gettin' free of 'dem chains

I saw the people with several pair of Levi's

I saw the people put the Party to it's shame

It's a long road home

And I think the Hope's begun

The Goddess of democracy

She proved Mightier Than The Gun

I musta been dreamin' in Beijing, China

On a fast bike, wind in my hair

There's a Lincoln, Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson

There's troops and APC's in Washington's glare

'cause ya' wanna see children laughing and singing

'cause ya' wanna earn more than fifteen bucks a month

'cause ya' wanna be happy as a human being

'cause ya' wanna have whatever you want for lunch

- Chorus -

I musta been dreamin' in Beijing, China

I was standing near a man with a freedom flag

I was singin' of his brave determination

He was standing there intimidating a tank

There's a change being born to a Nation

The roughest rain will bring it's own reward

You can try to beat the tar out of a spirit

but the dreams in Beijing... they won't be ingnored

It's a long road home and I think we already won

The Goddess of democracy, she proved mightier than the gun

I musta been dreamin' in Beijing, China

On a dark night Tianenmen Square

I could hear a million Chinese Mothers weeping

An' I believe I could hear Buddah's tears...
