Northern Song Balance

[Verse 1]
Silver hair and spirit made of stone
Bao Zheng walks the justice hall alone
Ancient scrolls are heavy with the truth
Keeping vows he carried since his youth

[Pre-Chorus]
No bribe can blind the honest eye
Wealth is smoke against the sky
A single scale to hold the weight
Dignity for small and great

[Chorus]
Bao Qingtian
Heal the land and light the night
Shield the weak with moral might
High above the corruption and fear
Wisdom is the only voice we hear
Bao Gong
Guarding laws of man and god
Every path he bravely trod
Justice flowing like a river wide
Nowhere for the hollow hearts to hide

[Verse 2]
Courtyard lanterns glow on scarlet walls
Shadows flee within these hallowed halls
Power bows before his quiet grace
Honor etched upon his weathered face

[Pre-Chorus]
No bribe can blind the honest eye
Wealth is smoke against the sky
A single scale to hold the weight
Dignity for small and great

[Chorus]
Bao Qingtian
Heal the land and light the night
Shield the weak with moral might
High above the corruption and fear
Wisdom is the only voice we hear
Bao Gong
Guarding laws of man and god
Every path he bravely trod
Justice flowing like a river wide
Nowhere for the hollow hearts to hide

[Bridge]
Under the moon he weighs the gold
The honest hand is never sold
He speaks for those who have no name
History will burn with his name

[Chorus]
Bao Qingtian
Heal the land and light the night
Shield the weak with moral might
High above the corruption and fear
Wisdom is the only voice we hear
Bao Gong
Guarding laws of man and god
Every path he bravely trod
Justice flowing like a river wide
Nowhere for the hollow hearts to hide
