Cao Shui: Four Pillars Support The Temple On The Dragon's Nest

Illustration: AI

Crystal clear nest

Light is like crystal

Warm is like mink

I don't want to leave the dragon's nest

The mother of the Dragon says to me

The Qinghai Lake is too shallow

You're going to swim in the sea

From Beijing to Los Angeles

You’re going to swim across the Pacific

From Xi'an to Rome

You’re going to fly over Asia

I fly around the dragon's nest

The mother of the Dragon says to me

Your wings are full

The lake is too small now

You will have to fly over the sea

I flap my wings and take off

And kiss the dragon's nest

And kiss the mother of the dragon

From Hong Kong City to New York City

Over Mount Ararat

See Noah's Ark

Through Jerusalem

See the Golden Ark

See the four pillars rise

There are people singing in Beijing

There are people narrating in Rome

There are people acting in New York City

There are people translating in Los Angeles

The temple of the heavenly tower will rise

The New Dragon Nest is built in the center
