Said, 'how you doing, Theng?' when we first met
You look different to the pictures I got sent
Yesterday, just a kid on my wall in a frame
But today, we're here, now the picture will change
You showed me round the place you've grown
A world away from the life I've known
But your family can eat, they got shoes on their feet
All because I gave a little just to help you in need
Maybe something's coming right
The situation's black and white
Me and Theng, we don't talk much
Sitting around by the pickup truck
And then he said in a language
That my heart understands
'Man, I wanna thank you
Wanna thank you, man'
As I sit here next to you
My own life takes a different view
And what matters the most is your family can cope
Now I see it in your eyes that you finally got hope
I'm just one guy, I thought, 'what can I do?'
But I see through my excuses when I'm looking at you
Tell me, how can I not try to give what I got?
'Cause to you it really matters and you matter a lot
Maybe something's coming right
The situation's black and white
Me and Theng, we don't talk much
Sitting around by the pickup truck
And then he said in a language
That my heart understands
'Man, I wanna thank you
Wanna thank you, man'
Me and Theng, we don't talk much
Sitting around by the pickup truck
And then he said in a language
That my heart understands
'Man, I wanna thank you
Wanna thank you, man'
He comes from Cambodia. And that's nowhere near Mongolia or Australia. It's just below Vietnam, kind of cross the right from Singapore. It's just above the top of Malaysia. He comes from Cambodia.
