Bui-Doi lyrics

Chorus

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

Conceived 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

It's 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

Conceived 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

Conceived 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
