Long​-​Term Karma

lyrics

Seong Hee met the protesters
Despite her mother's deep sighs
She held her sign "soldiers get out!"
With fierce pride in her eyes

You gain or lose your karma
By the choices that you make
To your own self be true
No matter what it takes

Dong Hyun stayed up late to clean his M-16
Next day he marched and did pushups
Looked up at the May sun, he said
"should be an easy mop up"

You gain or lose your karma
By the choices that you make
To your own self be true
No matter what it takes

The crowd amassed at the park
Taegukgi-draped coffins shuffled
Dong Hyun's mean black eyes took aim
As Seong Hee's shouts got muffled
Seong Hee never came back home
Her mother's wails whipped the streets
Dong Hyun got a shiny medal
On an oak desk he kicked up his feet

Reborn in the year 2084
Seong Hee's mind shone like a gem
She rose up through the political ranks
became a chief at the UN

Strolling down the street one day
A rat crept out from the gutter
Seong Hee recognized the mean black eyes
"Pathetic fool" she uttered

You gain or lose your karma
By the choices that you make
To your own self be true
No matter what it takes
