A Family to Call My Own

I'm just an orphan
Living all alone
Looking for a family to call my own

I've been to so many places
Feeling like I really don't belong
Traveled the country
Trying to find a true home
No roots to hold me down
No one to miss me when I'm gone
If ever there was a sad story,
It'd be an orphan's song

I'm just an orphan
Living all alone
Looking for a family to call my own

I searched
I longed
I cried myself to sleep
I wanted a purpose
I still need to believe

My life is not an accident
Even though my insides are bent
I'm trying to remove all the bitter resent

My past is the past
I can live a life full of love
I know I can
'Cause I'm worth it
Dont't let me forget

I'm just an orphan
Living all alone
Looking for a family to call my own

Then I met You
You took me in
My walls started breaking
My heart stopped shaking
I'm not alone
And you brought me brothers and sisters
I have a home
My home is with You

There are some things thicker than blood
And it's my bond with you.

I'm was an orphan
No longer alone
I've finally found a family to call my own
