Miss Saigon International Cast -
Highlights from the Complete Recording of Boublil and Schönberg's Miss Saigon
Bui Doi
They're called Bui Doi
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget, must not forget
That they are all our children too!
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 your 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 reminder 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 secrets, we can't hide...
It's printed on their face!
I never thought one day I'd plead for half-breads from a land that's torn
But then I saw a camp for children
Whoose crime was... being born!
They're called Bui Doi
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget, must not forget
That they are all, our children too!
They are souls in need
They need us to give
Someone has to pay... for their chance to live
Help me try! (sings)
And born in strife!
They are living reminders of all the good we failed to do!
(That's why we know)
That's why we know
(Deep in our hearts)
Deep in our hearts
(That's why we know)
That they are all our children too!
The dust of life
Conceived in hell
And born in strife
They are the living reminder of all the good we failed to do
We can't forget, must not forget
That they are all our children too!
