I need city lights
|
Defence and weaponry
|
No way of knowing
|
My life expectancy
|
I learn resistance
|
Like I learn to see
|
A living witness
|
A lonely refugee I'm a war child
|
I'm a war baby
|
And that's the difference
|
Between you and me
|
I'm a war child
|
|
My occupation
|
Is being occupied
|
I stop at the corner
|
To be identified
|
|
Across the border
|
They pretend victory
|
I'm playing in the rubble
|
And dream a destiny
|
|
I'm a war child
|
I'm a war baby
|
And that's the difference
|
Between you and me
|
I'm a war child
|
|
You weren't discovered by Khmer Rouge
|
We hear of "the troubles" on the nightly news
|
PLO lovers courting after the curfew
|
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues
|
