[Chorus]
Ab
N.C.
They're called Bui-Doi, the dust of life, conceived in hell, and born in strife
N.C.
They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do

We can't forget, must not forget,
N.C. Ab
That they are all our children, too
[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Like all survivors I once thought
Eb/G Fm
When I'm home I won't give a damn
Fm/Eb Db Eb Ab
But now I know I'm caught, I'll never leave Vietnam

War isn't over when it ends, some pictures never leave you mind

They are the faces of the children the ones we left behind

Their secret, they can't hide, it's printed on their face

For half-breeds from a land that's torn
Fm/Eb Bb/D Eb
But then I saw a camp for children whose crime was being born
[Chorus]
