Analysis of I Walk in a Song
I Walk in a Song
I walk in a song,
But there’s no music,
It’s in my mind.
Blue skies, birds,
The Yellow Sea;
Blessings of mine.
Fountains and waterfalls,
And textured rocks.
The searing sun,
The people! The people!
The people! The people!
Children of Eden.
The music abounds,
But there’s no notes;
I walk in a song
It flows around and through and in and out,
Within my spirit and through my mind,
With all my heart and soul I sing:
GOD BLESS CHINA!
