Paroles: Miss Li. Other. I'd Give My Life For You.

KIM

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 -



(The ENGINEER, KIM, and TAM join the boat-people.)
