I thought I’d write a song to represent the fantasy that all adopters have regarding a beautifully smooth parenthood and how thankful the adopted child could be. But it tends to be more difficult than that in reality.
Tuning is D A D F# A C# with capo on first fret
From the first cry out
To the final breath
I just belong to you
Once empty filled by love
From my tiny hands
To my restless feet
I’m made especially
For you to keep me safe
I would run and hide but I would always try to come and find you
In another world I wouldn’t be this lucky so I thank you
Trained my eyes to see
And warmed my heart to feel
I have your lasting love
To drive out all my fear
Cried myself to sleep
But never left your sight
You gave me all I have
A perfect guide through life
I would run and hide but I would always try to come and find you
In another world I wouldn’t be this lucky so I thank you
When the clouds came rolling in
And I was looking for the right direction
You were there to comfort me
And led me to the safety of your own home
I would run and hide but I would always try to come and find you
In another world I wouldn’t be this lucky so I thank you
From the first cry out
To the final breath I
Just belong to you
Once empty filled by love
