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
