Open Heart - Lyrics by Amazin LeThi and Jared Rehberg
The songs Operation Babylift, Hey Mister
and Waking up American are dedicated to everyone involved
in Operation Babylift, The Vietnamese adoptee community, and
orphans waiting for homes around the world.
Cries
of a Woman
This song is based on and inspired by a website
I found on a serch for Operation Babylift stories.
It is dedicated to the lives lost at the C-5 crash.
I wonder who Jane is.
"She might agree to follow you home.
But, there’s a glow in her everlasting tone."
(Lyrics)
I will never forget visiting the orphans in Vietnam.
Through the eyes and mind of an orphan in Vietnam.
"Hey mister, am I just like you?"
(Lyrics)
A fond memory of a young girl I knew 22 years ago.
"I never erased her memory, I never said goodbye.
I stare at night to a starry sky, hoping she's alive."
A song inspired by my mother, set to music and brought
to life at two weddings.
Thank you all for giving me faith in love.
"Will you be my partner in the dance of life?"
(Lyrics)
A song for a friend at the crossroads and
my personal experience with hepititis C treatment.
Good Luck Vanessa.
"The neon lights will spell your name"
(Lyrics)
The visions and emotions of
poet, Benjamin Leopold.
"Sing me the mantras of forgiveness,
I’m on my knees at the base of the world..."
A song of hope.
Words and vision by Dru Barnes.
"You’ve got to hold on..."
(Lyrics)
This song was written at Estes Park, CO at the second
Viet adoptee reunion.
Inspired by LeAnn Theiman’s book
"This must be my brother" a song of thanks and understanding
was born.
Thank you for your courage and inspiration.
"A child given up with all of her love,
for new life and a brand new day..."
