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
