The Healer - Mekong Delta

It was the time we cried for justice loud

We did and felt so proud

Then they start to cut the moral out

And they start to sort the people out

We looked away and had no doubt

See, when he first came it looked like a sign

They laugh and felt so proud

Then we tried to turn the wheel around

See, when he first came it looked like a sign

He promised to save us from crime

So we thought everything would be fine

He heals all our wounds — but…
