Verse 1:
It's been 25 years, since the end of the war
Did Vietnam win, who's keeping the score?
The wounds have healed, yet the scars remain
Some of us too young, to remember the pain
Now the communist, are in control
The bloody flags are waving in the bitter cold
No freedom of speech, no right to vote
That's why we left, in our fishing boats
No equality, no human rights
Forced to escape, we loss so many lives
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, it's a brand new day

Bridge:
Sometimes I wonder, who I am?
Asian, or American?
A lost generation, searching for a home
Eager to be found, like words in a poem

Chorus:
If you know, just how I feel
Raise your hands, and nod your head
Close your eyes, and visualize
In a perfect world, we will unite

Verse 2:
Our parents had to work, in restaurants
Paint them nails, even mow the lawns
We ate free lunch, in public schools
Looked down upon, cause it was uncool
Made the best, with what we've got
Just to have something, meant a lot
My parents always say, concentrate on your education
When you get sick, drink your herbal medication
Respect your elders, finish your rice
Take pride in your culture, always think twice
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, in a brand new way

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Verse 3:
Who really knows, what the future holds?
It's up to us, we're in control
You can sit back, and watch the world go by
Or take a risk, and learn to fly
Spread your wings, set yourself free
Anything's possible, if you believe
Life's too short, to take the easy road
Take a chance, let your dreams unfold
Let your heart, lead the way
Let us watch tomorrow, not yeasterday
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, let's lead the way
