A rewording of Phil Ochs song, Knock on the Door
Dm In the streets of Hong Kong, in two thousand nineteen F A The young and the old protesting have been, Dm They are fighting for freedom, and democracies right F A But risking a visit in the dead of the night, Dm Gm Dm With a knock on the door, knock on the door A Dm Dsus2 Dm Here they come to take one more, one more In nineteen eighty nine, on Tiananmen Students asking for freedom were slaughtered then. Their cry for democracy strangled right there, When the soldiers and tanks they rolled into the square Then the knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more Then came Falun Gong, in nineteen ninety two, Teaching compassion, with courage so true, Imprisoned and tortured, their organs sold, Just one more chapter in a regime so cold, Another the knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more In the streets of Hong Kong it’s happening now, The young the old are refusing to bow, For five months and more they are protesting still, Fighting for freedom with unstoppable with will But they wait for the knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more (This is Phil's verse) Look over the oceans, look over the lands Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands And open your eyes and see what they do When they knock for a friend, they're knocking for you With their knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more With their knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more
