Verse 1:
What's happened to our little Lia
Her soul is lost and scared away

They keep taking her from us
Healer, bring her home to us
Treat her with herbs and these coins,

With ritual and sacrifice
Spirits, take these, release her soul
Give her back and make her whole


Too much medicine from the doctor
She cries "I'm not getting better


Chorus:
I know you all care about me

You just want to help me
But it's not working out
It was the door slamming loudly

Then the spirit caught me
And I fell down, I fell down"


Verse 2:
What's happened to this little Hmong girl
Her brain isn't working all too well

We need to check her and run these tests
Let us do it, we know what's best
Scan her brain, put in this IV

With Valium to calm her down
Every time she's here it's far too close
Take these pills, give her every dose


They're not following doctor's orders
She cries, "I'm not getting better


I know you all care about me
You just want to help me

But it's not working out
It was the door slamming loudly
Then the spirit caught me

And I fell down, I fell down"

Bridge:

Don't put the blame on yourselves
Or one another
Two different worlds

Impossible to see the other side
But one common goal
So I cry


"I know you all care about me
You just want to help me

But it's not working out
It was the door slamming loudly
Then the spirit caught me

And I fell down, I fell down
Oh, the spirit caught me
And I fell down"
