Did you hear what they had to say?
The north had advanced over a weaker defense,
bleeding Saigon’s chance to stay.
And Susan says I'm scared for you. And I love you.

Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone.
But my own, my own as angels standing by.
Tonight. It’s gonna be alright.

A child given up with all her love, for new life and a brand new day.
She kisses him and says, "I’m gonna see you someday
And I’m so scared for you. And I love you, and there’s angels standing by."
Tonight. It’s gonna be alright because I’ve seen it today.

A busy market street, where kind people meet. The old and the new there’s always something to do, so she prays. Watching the children play.
And I’m still scared for you. And I still love you.

There’s a girl on the street; she's lying on a sheet.
She’s given up her right for life.
And a tear burns my eye when she says good night to a man
Who bought her body and soul.

The stories told, to the young and the old. That’s why I want you to know.

A quarter century’s passed.
I’m just looking back. I’m trying to understand this path I walk upon.
And the thanks you’ll find
Last for all time.

And we can say
Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone.
But my own, my own. And there's angels standing by.
Tonight. It’s gonna be alright.

With angels standing by.
