War Child

I'm a war child

I'm a war child

A living witness, a lonely refugee

I'm a war child, I'm a war baby
We hear of the troubles on the nightly news
You weren't discovered by the Khmer Rouge
I'm a war child, I'm a war baby
The P.L.O. lovers, courting after the curfew
You weren't discovered by the Khmer Rouge
The P.L.O. lovers, courting after the curfew

I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny
I learn resistance like I learn to see

I'm a war child, I'm a war baby
Across the border they pretend victory
And that's the difference between you and me
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues
And that's the difference between you and me
My occupation is being occupied
Your father and brother have the West Bank blues
I stop at the corner to be identified
We hear of the troubles on the nightly news
I'm a war child, I'm a war baby
