Neon ripples on the Taikoo street
Ancient shadows where the silence meets
One step across the threshold line
Bronze masks fade, the stars align

Mandala gold, touches the light
Succulents green, new life in sight
Hands folded tight, no words to speak
Incense weaves the time, soft and deep

Tears fall, I don’t know why
Like Qingcheng wind passing by
A light appears, cuts through the gray
Healing Buddha, here I stay

Inside the gate, outside the gate
Chengdu calls, I hesitate
Am I a stranger passing through?
Or someone born anew?
Inside the gate, outside the gate
One wall divides, two worlds wait
I came to catch the view
Found a home in you

Outside, the steam rises, spicy air
Square dance spins, without a care
Tea leaves swirl in the old man’s cup
Grandma prays as the sun comes up

Inside, the ginkgo drums on the stone
Where ancient peace meets the unknown
Monk sweeps dust, sweeps the mind clean
The loudest silence I’ve ever seen

Dujiangyan feeds the Jinjiang heart
Qingcheng wind tears the map apart
Daci keeps me safe, the noise dies down

In the heart of chaos, I wear the crown
Sunset on the wall, Taikoo light
Tears in my eyes, I’m alive
Inside the gate, outside the gate
Chengdu, I’m home... tonight. 顶一下
