On a field of red one gold star[00:00:44]

Raised above his head[00:00:54]

Raised above his head[00:00:59]

He was not like any other[00:01:04]

He was just like any other[00:01:09]

And the song they bled[00:01:15]

Was a hymn to him[00:01:20]

Awake my little one[00:01:35]

The seed of revolution[00:01:40]

Sewn in the sleeve[00:01:45]

Of cloth humbly worn[00:01:50]

Where others are adorned[00:01:55]

Above the northern plain[00:02:11]

The great birds fly[00:02:18]

With great wings[00:02:24]

Over the paddy fields[00:02:31]

And the people kneel[00:02:37]

And the men they toil[00:02:58]

Yet not for their own[00:03:08]

And the children are hungry[00:03:15]

And the wheel groans[00:03:18]

There before a grass hut[00:03:34]

A young boy stood[00:03:39]

His mother lay dead[00:03:44]

His sisters cried for bread[00:03:49]

And within his young heart[00:03:54]

The seed of revolution sewn[00:03:59]

In cloth humbly worn[00:04:07]

While others are adorned[00:04:09]

And he grew into a man[00:04:11]

Not like any other[00:04:15]

Just like any other[00:04:20]

One small man[00:04:38]

A beard the color of rice[00:04:38]

A face the color of tea[00:04:43]

Who shared the misery[00:04:48]

Of other men in chains[00:04:54]

With shackles on his feet[00:04:58]

Escaped the guillotine[00:05:09]

Who fought against[00:05:14]

Colonialism imperialism[00:05:20]

Who remained awake[00:05:29]

While others slept[00:05:33]

Who penned like Jefferson[00:05:39]

Let independence ring[00:05:45]

And the cart of justice turns[00:05:59]

Slow and bitterly[00:06:06]

And the people were crying[00:06:11]

Plant that seed that seed[00:06:14]

And they crawled on their bellies[00:06:26]

Beneath the giant beast[00:06:33]

And filled the carts with bodies[00:06:36]

Where once had been their crops[00:06:41]

And the great birds swarm[00:06:52]

Spread their wings overhead[00:06:57]

And his mother dead[00:07:03]

And the typhoons and the rain[00:07:07]

The jungles in flames[00:07:13]

And the orange sun[00:07:18]

None could be more beautiful[00:07:23]

Than Vietnam[00:07:28]

Nothing was more beautiful[00:07:33]

Than Vietnam[00:07:38]

And his heart stopped beating[00:07:40]

And the wheel kept turning[00:08:02]

And the words he bled[00:08:07]

Were a hymn to them[00:08:12]

I have served the whole people[00:08:16]

I have served my whole country[00:08:20]

And as I leave this world[00:08:23]

May you suffer union[00:08:29]

And my great affection[00:08:30]

Limitless as sky[00:08:34]

Filled with golden stars[00:08:38]

The question is raised[00:08:51]

Raised above his head[00:08:56]

Was he of his word[00:09:01]

Was he a good man[00:09:06]

For his image fills the southern heart[00:09:11]

With none but bitterness[00:09:16]

And the people keep crying[00:09:26]

And the men keep dying[00:09:39]

And it's so beautiful[00:10:06]

So beautiful[00:10:38]

Give me one more turn[00:11:17]

Give me one more turn[00:11:19]

One more turn of the wheel[00:11:23]

One more revolution[00:11:28]

One more turn of the wheel[00:11:33]
