Chinese Secret!
Could you gain compassion from the hardest hearts?
Then you''ve drained the vanity after mastering its art,
A benevolent leech, possessing more knowledge
Than the sands of the beach and nature''s humanity
You chose to teach, are you a prophet?
Do you have dreams and vision?
Dodging the wrath of man with righteous decision,
From whence do you come?
Come eat at my table, have the last crumb?
Lean me if you choose to speak it,
Teach me from greatest to little, even the Chinese secret?
