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 Im a war child Im a war baby And thats the difference Between you and me Im a war child
My occupation Is being occupied I stop at the corner To be identified
Across the border They pretend victory Im playing in the rubble And dream a destiny
Im a war child Im a war baby And thats the difference Between you and me Im a war child
You werent 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
