Version 1:
It's been 25 years, since the end of the war
Did Vietnam win, who's keep 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 lost so many lives
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, it's a brand new day
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

Version 2:
Rap:
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 weve got
Just to have something, meant a lot
My parents always say, concentrate on you education
When you get sick, drink your herbal medication
Respect your elders, finish your rice
Take pride in your culture, and always think twice
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, it's a brand new day

Viet rap
Cha me ta di lam

Version 3:
Rap:

Who really knows, what the future holds
It's up to us, we're in control
You can sit back, and watch the wolrd 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 dream unfold
Let your heart, lead the way
Look towards tomorrow, not yesterday
So here we are, in the U.S. of A.
To start a new life, it's a brand new day
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

Viet rap:
Co ai biet duoc tuong lai se ra sao
muon duoc thanh cong phai bo ra cong lao
Ta co the ngoi nhin the gioi di qua
Hay la lua minh tung canh bay xa
Hay vuon doi canh, trong the gioi tu do
