about

The song “the girl in the picture” is based on the novel by Kim Phuc called “Fire Road”, about the life of Kim, once known as the screaming 9-year-old girl in the world-famous black and white picture taken by Nick Ut after a napalm bomb attack by US troops in North Vietnam. Kim Phuc is now UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Culture and Peace and chair of the Kim Foundation International, a not-for-profit organization established to fund programs for children around the world who are victims of war.

lyrics

She's only a child
a running, naked child
So vulnerable

She's only 'bout nine
Thin and so fine
So destructable

She runs scarified
Her arms swung out wide
to relieve the pain

She lives in Trang Bang
where fire falls from the skies
Down Highway One
there's a girl that screams and cries

And she's running
Always running
They call her the Napalm Girl
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
Saved by the click of a camera
She is the girl in the picture

There's fire all around her
and fire inside
'it's too hot, too hot'

She rips off her clothes
but the heat only grows
It's living under her skin

She's frozen in time
'cause she still burns your mind
when you look at her

She lives in Trang Bang
where fire grows on the trees
Down Highway One
there's a little girl pleading for peace

And she's running
Always running
This little napalm girl
but she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
She's so strong she can burn your mind
She is the girl in the picture

She lives in Trang Bang
where fire rains from the sky
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world

And she's running
Always running
They call her the Napalm Girl
But she never gives in
trying to get some peace in this world
Always understanding
This little child of war

She is the girl in the picture
