Can you feel for the children who are cold?
Do you see the children stretching out a hand for a hand to hold?
Can you help a parent who`s been hurt along the way
By caring for the children `til a better day?
If you do, if you can....Then you`re a foster parent.
Do you have the courage just to go the extra mile?
Have the hope that someday soon this kid will start to smile?
Will you take the Job where the hours are long.
And the pay is small and you`re sometimes wrong,
Just to make another family strong?
Then you`re a foster parent.
The world needs you, a child needs you.
And his parents need you too.
When you wonder what to do,
You have the strenght to see it through,
Because you`re a foster parent.
