Chorus:

AbAb
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
N.C.
We can't forget, must not forget,
N.C.              AbAb
That they are all our children, too

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

These kids hit walls on every side, they don't belong in any place

Their secret, they can't hide, it's printed on their face
      Eb MajorEb        AbAb
I never thought one day I'd plead
   Eb MajorEb              F minorFm
