I want to feel like I belong,

To see faces who look like me.

Blood ties I’ve craved my whole life long.

 

A family to make me strong,

The wish of every adoptee.

I want to feel like I belong.

 

I pray that we will get along,

So much at stake, no guarantee.

Blood ties I’ve craved my whole life long.

 

With desperate need, I rush headlong

To please. Ignore reality.

I want to feel like I belong.

 

Years on, the strength to not prolong

This pain. The courage to be free.

Blood ties I’ve craved my whole life long.

 

I know you now and I was wrong

To search for home in your debris.

No place to feel like I belong,

Blood ties I’ve craved my whole life long.
