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.
