Adams: Nixon in China, Act I, Scene 1: "The People Are the Heroes Now"
The people are the heroes now.
Behemoth pulls the peasant's plow.
When we look up, the fields are white
with harvest in the morning light
and mountain ranges one by one
rise red beneath the harvest moon.
Behemoth pulls the peasant's plow.
When we look up, the fields are white
with harvest in the morning light
and mountain ranges one by one
rise red beneath the harvest moon.
