The Child from Long Ago

Today I got a message, from someone far away
We have really found your family, is all I heard her say
My heart filled up with happiness, my eyes filled up with tears
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, after searching all those years.

She spoke to me so gently, my heart trembled with fear
Could this really be my family? I asked, as I wiped away a tear
The joy I felt inside my soul, I cannot yet explain
We had finally found each other, after all those years of pain.

The caring hands of the chosen ones, I grew to love and praise
I never will forget them, through all my living days
But something always haunted me, a lonely feeling in my heart
Why had God chosen for us to be apart.

With trembling hands I dialed the number, the woman had given me
And when a voice answered on the other end, it reminded me of me
I was overcome by a feeling, a feeling I've never felt before
A gentle peace inside my soul, I will feel for evermore.

Now my life is different, my past I finally know
No more unanswered questions, about the child from long ago
With a happy heart, I look ahead and in my future I see
Being part of another family, One that belongs to me.

I finally know who I am, and where my life began
The wondering is gone now, I finally understand
I lived my life with dreams and hopes, of finding all of you
And in one precious moment, that very dream came true.
