Adoption

Every once in a while I get lost in thought 

I wonder why I got out and they did not

The news tells me stories of babies left for dead 

Because their mom's got scared and fled

 

It's hard to fathom someone I don't know

Who gave so selflessly, so I could be happy and grow 

She let me have a life worth living 

And did not let fear prevent her from giving

 

A piece of my heart lies in Seoul 

The place of my birth, where I was made whole 

The rest of my heart bleeds red, white and blue

And belongs to my family that are unconditionally true
