little stranger girl

I enjoy discovering new music…especially anything with an adoption-related message these days. Recently I heard this touching song with a haunting piano melody that was written from a father's point of view and now I can't stop humming it… 

and looking forward to singing this to our "stranger-child" one day.

Little Stranger Girl 

There's a love he cannot hide

though he waits in line to fight
so he looks up to welcome you, his child
little stranger girl, you are home tonight

He reaches out a thousand miles
and sends his voice to where you lie
and in your dreams he carries you, his child
little stranger girl, you are home tonight

When you have grown, you may ask why
and you will read these words he writes
and they will say, I thank you, my child,
little stranger girl, you are home tonight
little stranger girl, you are home tonight.
