When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the groundWe stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We stand or fall
When your life is not your ownWhen white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your ownChorus:White China
White ChinaWhen crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for youWe stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away(Repeat chorus 3 times)
