We Are the Children

"Charlie" Chin, Chris Kando Iijima & Joanne Nobuko

We are the children of the migrant worker
We are the offspring of the concentration camp
Sons and daughters of the railroad builder
Leave their stamp on America

We are the children of the Chinese wader
Born and raised in the laundry room
We are the offspring of the Japanese gardner
Leave their stamp on America

Sing a song for ourselves
What have we got to lose
Sing a song for ourself
We got the right to choose
We got the right to choose
We got the right to choose

Buster children of the pepsi generation
Cowboys and Indians ride, red men ride
Hey, watching war movies with the next door neighbor
Secretly rooting for the other side

Sing a song for ourselves
What have we got to lose
Sing a song for ourselves
We got the right to choose
We got the right to choose
We got the right to choose

We are the cousins of the freedom fighter
Brothers and sisters all around the world
We are apart of the third world people
Who will leave their stamp on America
Who will leave their stamp on America
Who will leave our stamp on America
Who will leave our stamp on America
America
