[CHOIR] They're called Bui-Doi The Dust of life Concieved in hell And born is strife They are the the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do We can't forget Must not forget That they are all Our children too
[JOHN] Like all survivors, I once thought When I'm home I won't give a damn 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
They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife They are the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do We can't forget Must not forget That they are all Our children too
These kids hit walls on every side They don't belong in any place Their secret they can't hide Its printed on their face
I never thought I'd plead For half-breeds from a land that's torn But then I saw a camp for children Whose crime was being born
They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife We owe them fathers, and a family - And loving home they never knew Because we know Deep in our hearts That they are all Our children too
These are souls in need They need us to give Someone has to pay For their chance to life Help me try
[JOHN] and [CHORUS] They're called Bui-Doi The dust of life Concieved in hell And born in strife They are the living reminders Of all the good we failed to do That's why we know Deep in our hearts That they are all Our children too

[CHRIS] It's too late! I have a whole new life I was in love with Kim, but now I have a wife
