Cambodian Girl - BZN

In a paradise now rotten to the core

There’s a jungle lost in deafening acts of war

Where the people throng the road to fly away

Life’s torn to pieces day by day

Crowded river boats defy a blistering sun

To a nowhere land, my God, what have they done

While the waves are rolling high, the end is near

And she is crying, a cry of fear

Cambodian girl, dry your eyes and turn it over

One day you’re homeward bound, back to the sun

Cambodian girl, lay your head upon my shoulder

Once you will be back where you belong

But the darkest hour is right before the dawn

They await so afraid, but carry on

There’s a light, a ray of hope, and no more grief

A new tomorrow, a land of make believe

Cambodian girl, dry your eyes and turn it over

One day you’re homeward bound, back to the sun

Cambodian girl, lay your head upon my shoulder

Once you will be back where you belong

Cambodian girl, dry your eyes and turn it over

One day you’re homeward bound, back to the sun

Cambodian girl, lay your head upon my shoulder

Once you will be back where you belong
