I need city lights defense 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 of destiny   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
