Warchild

I need city lights defense and weaponryNo way of knowing my life expectancyI learn resistance like I learn to seeA living witnessA lonely refugeeI'm a war childI'm a war baby and that's the difference between you and meI'm a war childMy occupation is being occupiedI stop at the corner to be identifiedAcross the border they pretend victoryI'm playing in the rubble and dream of destinyYou weren't discovered by Khmer RougeWe hear of "the troubles" on the nightly newsPLO lovers courting after the curfewYour father and brother have the West Bank blues
