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
