One hundred fifty thousand flocked to be
Down at Victoria Park, candlelight
Portraying our dreams of justice and rights
As China erases her history.
Our mission is simply to not forget
Because we believe it is our duty
To remind everyone in our country
What thousands of students died to protect:
Their ideals, their love for what they believed;
The leap that they felt would bring them forward
But the army shot at China's orders
Just because the students refused to leave.
Twenty years on, "June the Fourth" is censored.
Our candlelight says: "Justice? Not yet served."
