Tibet then, now and tomorrow

If you had reached the top of the world
You would have found my country
Covered with white snow

Sketched with many a beautiful mountains
Murmurs of prayers and chants in the air
And peace and compassionate people every where

Rich with resourses lay my country
Not a dark spot to stain the purity
That’s my Tibet before 1959

If you reach the Top of the world now
You will still see my country
Still covered with snow
But now payers with desperation
Hope of my people
Wanting to rejoin as one country
Memory smiles, deep within us
Lies sorrows from crying days and nights
If  you sport men with green coat,
Then know they are the men we hate
The one who killed our brothers and sisters
The rule we oppose and the reason for our sorrows

Look deep into the snow
Find the bloodshed of the people of my land
Listen to the mountain around

Hear the haunted cries and stories
This is my Tibet now

If you reach the top of the world tomorrow
You will find my country
Just like it was before 1959
Just like how it should be
That will be my Tibet soon
We will be going back to our homes soon
