about

It's the Year of the Ox so to celebrate I've made a Chinese New Year of the Ox song, as I am a child of the Ox. Both my Grandad and myself are not only Year of the Ox but we are both Fire Ox's!
This song is for Grandad as he is the Ox in the song and he passes his strength onto me being the next Fire Ox!
Love ya Grandad Bob!!

lyrics

Wielding the Ox of power,
towering over me,
He held me in his hand,
when I was barley reaching three!

Now he's passing on that power,
and it fills me up with Chi,
Ohhh, the strength of the Ox,
also runs deep within me!

Grandson of an Ox!
coz I'm the grandson of the Ox,
coz I'm the grandson of the Ox! Ox!

Zodiac is among us,
the year of the beast,
No matter how mighty,
he was gentle as can be!

No bull, no cow, from the wild,
can drum protector of the Grandchild,
Light a lantern for the Ox,
and retain my Pocket-Watch!

Grandson of an Ox!
Grandson of an Ox!
Grandson of an Ox!

Ox!
Grandson of an Ox!
coz I'm the Grandson of the Ox!
Grandson of an Ox!
Ox!
