Many, many years a go
I was on my knee
Begging the Lord God
To give me a family

I didn't ask him exactly
What I wanted in family
I just asked the Lord
For mommy and daddy

And so God listened my prayer
He saw my tears and desire

After 4 and a half years later
From America I got a letter
And someone read it louder
To me and to my baby brother

I guess the reader
Was an American
But we had a translator
When he said mom and dad
My heart just sunk there
