Once we sailed the China Sea
Just the waves and the breeze
Now it's all a big dispute
Everyone claims the loot
Ships are patrolling night and day
Each side has something to say
Drawing lines in the sand
Trying to claim more land
Cheap line and territory
Making claims ain't free
Cheap line and disputes anew
China Sea what can we do?
Fishing boats and warships too
Every day there's something new
Tensions rise talks fall through
Each side wants their view
Island chains and coral reefs
Now they're causing so much grief
Maps are drawn and redrawn again
It's a game with no end
Cheap line and territory
Making claims ain't free
Cheap line and disputes anew
China Sea what can we do?
Leaders meet and then they part
Still the battles start
For the rights to the sea
Who knows where this will be?
They say it's for the future's sake
But the world's at stake
Sharing waters should be the way
So we all can sail another day
Cheap line and territory
Making claims ain't free
Cheap line and disputes anew
China Sea what can we do?
Cheap line and territory
Making claims ain't free
Cheap line and disputes anew
China Sea what can we do?
Cheap line and territory
Making claims ain't free
Cheap line and disputes anew
China Sea what can we do?
