you who i cradled in my arms - you



asking as little as you can



little snip of a little man



i know i'd give my life for you







you didn't ask me to be born - you



why should you learn of war or pain



to make sure you're not hurt again



i swear i'd give my life for you







i've tasted love



beyond all fear



and you should know it's love



that brought you here



and in one perfect night



when the stars burned like new



i knew what i must do







i'll give you



a million things i'll never own



i'll give you



a world to conquer when you're grown







you will be who you want to be - you



can choose whatever heaven grants



as long as you can have your chance



i swear i'll give my life for you







sometimes i wake up



reaching for him



i feel his shadow brush my head



but there's just moonlight on my bed



was he a ghost? was he a lie?



that made my body laugh and cry?



then by my side, the proof i see:



his little one



gods of the sun



bring him to me







you will be who you want to be - you



can choose whatever heaven grants



as long as you can have your chance



i swear i'll give my life for you







no one can stop what i must do



i swear i'll give my life for you







(a CHORUS of VIETNAMESE gathering to leave the country.)







FIRST GROUP



no place, no home



no life, no hope



no chance, no chance







SECOND GROUP



no regret



no return



no goodbye







THIRD GROUP



one day -



one night -



one day -
