In Cambodia

As the rain falls, between the walls,

A vision is stealing, my memory revealing.

Another dark night, in Cambodia,

You could see the light, of insomnia.

Is anybody out there?

Does anybody care?

I have to whisper,

'Cause if I scream I'll die,

In Cambodia!

I'm such a young man, but older than most.

You know in the jungle, death is always close.

The sun never shines, it rains here all the time.

And even in the dark, you're always a mark.

Is anybody out there?

Does anybody care?

I have to whisper,

'Cause if I scream I'll die,

In Cambodia!

So many years gone, but in the streets you'll find,

Rumors long, of someone left behind.

It's hard to believe, this is the home I left.

It's hard to conceive, everyone's gone deaf!

Is anybody left there?

Why doesn't anybody care?

I have to shout,

Because whispers aren't heard,

In America!
