Fuxing Park Lyrics by Conrad Ricamora, Francis Jue

Soft Power (Original Cast Recording)

2020

[Xue Xing, spoken]
This is your chance to write for your own people!

[DHH, spoken]
I'm not Chinese

[Xue Xing, spoken]
Your father was from Shanghai

[DHH, sung]
My father
My father, was strong. He was tough
Full of pride
He turned his back on his past as he tried
To belong in America
To be free in America
So at home we spoke English alone
Chinese New Year was strange and unknown
Because I'm an American
I am free in America

[Xue Xing, spoken]
And your father never came back?
Shanghai has changed so much!
We're building a theater inside Fuxing Park!

[DHH, spoken]
Wait, when he got sick, Dad kept talking about a place called Fuxing Park

[Xue Xing, sung]
10,000 trees

[DHH, spoken]
He said it was his favorite spot

[Xue Xing, sung]
Or maybe more

[DHH, spoken]
As a kid

[Xue Xing, sung]
Shaded paths that seem to stretch to the sea

[DHH, sung]
The place where he felt free
Free

[Xue Xing]
With couples dancing
Ballroom dancing
Shaded meadows for practicing Tai Chi

[DHH]
So free

(spoken)
He said in his whole life it was the only place he could just be himself

[Xue Xing, spoken]
So what happened to your father over here?

[DHH]
He became a big success

(sung)
My father
My father wore a suit. The finest he could buy
The banker Mr. Henry Hwang
But every now and then, there'd be some passing guy
Who muttered the same old song:
"Ching chong! Ching chong! Ching chong!"

[Xue Xing, spoken]
David, I think you want to work in China!

[DHH, sung]
10,000 trees

[Xue Xing, sung]
Yes, you are dutiful

[DHH]
Or maybe more

[Xue Xing]
You are Chinese

[DHH]
Shaded paths that seem to stretch to the sea

[Xue Xing]
You are Chinese

[DHH]
The place where he felt free
Free

[Both]
Free

[Xue Xing]
Fuxing Park

[DHH}
Fuxing Park

[Both]
Fuxing Park
