大同世界

大同世界到底同不同
大道之行也　天下为公
金发碧眼和黄皮肤会不会相同
如果懂得博爱的道理就会相同

大同世界到底同不同
科技之行也　天下为公
鞭炮炸药和原子弹会不会相同
如果懂得和平的道理就会相同

大同世界到底同不同
经济之行也　天下为公
算盘秤锤和计算机会不会相同
如果懂得良心的道理就会相同

大同世界到底同不同
文化之行也　天下为公
歌仔戏国剧摇滚乐会不会相同
如果懂得包容的道理就会相同

大同世界到底同不同
天下之行也　天下为公
大同世界界世同大会不会相同
如果懂得轮转的道理就会相同

When economics prevailed, the whole world was one community.
Are abacus, scales and calculators the same?
The answer is yes as long as we comprehend the significance of conscience.

Is great unity a real unity?
When culture prevailed, the whole world was one community.
Are Gezai Opera, Beijing Opera and rock’n’roll the same?
The answer is yes as long as we understand what diversification is.

Is great unity a real unity?
When cosmopolitanism prevailed, the whole world was one community.
Are great unity and ytinu taerg the same?
The answer is yes as long as we know the meaning of rotation.
