Musicians Stand Up for Falun Gong with Newly Recorded Song "Walk On!"
(Clearwisdom.net) Yellow Express is an 8-piece band from Sweden. They
recently completed their first single, "Walk On!" The song is in English and
played on acoustic instruments: piano, flute, violin, accordion, guitar,
percussion, drums and bass. Members of Yellow Express are concerned about the
persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and this song is about the abuses of
human rights that are occurring in China at the moment.

Text in the sleeve of the single
Hi!
During my three trips to China (between the years 1996 and 1999) I met many
Chinese Falun Gong practitioners. Their pure minds and unselfish behaviour made
a very strong impression on me. After the persecution of Falun Gong started I
often wondered what happened to the friends that I'd met. Have they suffered
from torture? Are they still alive? Why are such good people being persecuted? I
just could not understand. A man I met on every trip to China was Lin Chengtao,
a successful scientist in Beijing. He has now suffered a mental collapse as a
result of intense torture in Tuanhe Labour Camp, Beijing. This case is, however,
only one of many.
Why this persecution? It's all because of one man's jealousy. Jiang Zemin
(sued for genocide in the USA) couldn't stand the popularity of Falun Gong so he
initiated this campaign in 1999. Many Chinese people were fooled by his vicious
propaganda about Falun Gong.
In the song "Walk On!" I am trying to reach you who are reading this right
now. I hope you can understand the severity, urgency and extent of this
persecution, which is aimed at 100 million people! Falun Gong practitioners
suffer mental and physical torture, brainwashing, and sexual abuse. They are
disfigured with wooden batons and electric cattle prods. When they protest this
barbaric treatment, they are force-fed with toxic liquids; even those mixed with
human faeces and urine.
The absurdity in all this is that Falun Gong practitioners' main goal in life
is to become a better and a healthier person, and follow the principles of Falun
Gong: Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance. Isn't this in fact what this chaotic
world needs today?

LYRICS
Walk On
It reminds me of the time way back then, of all the sorrows, and so much
pain. I can see Yellow River is turning to red. So many tortured and thousands are
dead.
Chorus Some worn out shoes. That's all I own. And I've been walking all night long. China, what's gone wrong? Yeah I wonder what's gone wrong.
The road is long to Tiananmen Square, but I don't mind I will make it
there. And tell the whole wide world our leader's wrong in persecuting Falun Gong Well the Tai Shan Mountain, is shedding it's tears. Seen so much violence for thousands of years
Chorus Some worn out shoes. That's all I own. And I've been walking all night long. China, what's gone wrong? Yeah I wonder what's gone wrong. Walk on, walk on! People, wake up from the illusion! Walk on, walk on, walk on! Stop the persecution!
Read in Chinese: "As one body we have been walking thousands and thousands of miles. We have
been walking through the major cities in the world. We have been walking for
our freedom and for our human rights.
"We have been walking to Beijing and to Tiananmen Square. We have stood
up for Zhen Shan Ren. For that we have been punished.
"But we will never give up. We will keep on walking until the persecution
is over. Stop the persecution!"
Chorus Walk on, walk on! People, wake up from the illusion! Walk on, walk on, walk on! Stop the persecution! Article from:
