| We've watched them leaving, seen their ragged flight | |
| Children of the jungle, mothers of the night | |
| A boy of ten by the roadside lies | |
| Hears his future in whispers and cries | |
| And clutching a tiny Buddha charm | |
| A baby dies in his mother's arms | |
| Is there only sorrow in Cambodia? | |
| Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia? | |
| Leaving the graves of your ancestors after a thousand years | |
| Leaving a few belongings after a thousand tears | |
| How come you never left before through bombing, famine and flood? | |
| Are the rivers useless now spilling over with blood? | |
| Is there only sorrow in Cambodia? | |
| Is there no tomorrow in Cambodia? | |
| I hear there are very few children from ages one to five | |
| It takes more than jungle leaves to keep the young ones alive | |
| I hear some of the rice got through the outside's trying to send to you | |
| There you sit in the ruins of war, the doctors are waiting at your door | |
| And we will try and feed you, try and go to you | |
| People of Kampuchea, Cambodia | |
| A little way in from the border in the crowded camps | |
| I've seen mothers giving birth, seen beautiful orphans dance | |
| An old man turns and covers his eyes, he was never supposed to cry | |
| With sons and daughters and home and wife | |
| Taken from him in his autumn life | |
| Should we try and feed you, say hello to you | |
| Old man of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia | |
| Call another conference, write another song | |
| Deliver another ton of rice and hope it gets where it belongs | |
| And rival teams of bandits are really the only choice | |
| Even if the people had their bellies filled, even if the people had a voice | |
| And meanwhile, lovers are caught in the crossfire | |
| Children are caught in the barbed wire | |
| Military sinks in the mire | |
| Let me show it to you | |
| Is there only sorrow, only sorrow in Cambodia? | |
| Is there no tomorrow, no tomorrow in Cambodia? | |
| Still we'll try and feed you, try and show to you | |
| People of Kampuchea, Kampuchea, Cambodia |
