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
