Half a world away
Somehow with me all the same
Strangers, yet not strange
Mother, not my mom
And no father will be found
Born into my blood
Three months from the day
Flying somewhere far away
To a family
Now three decades passed
A prayer for answers not asked
A dream always dreamt
Half a world away
Somehow with me all the same
Strangers, yet not strange
Answers I have found
Not today or tomorrow
I have found them now
It grows in my heart
Always knowing true love’s act
Daughter to mother
It took me too long
The time has finally come
Connected by love
Half a world away
Somehow with me all the same
Strangers, yet not strange
