We Dreamed Of You
We dreamed of you long before
You came into our world.
We dreamed about adotping
a little boy or little girl.
We didn't yet know when or where
or even if or how,
But we knew the child
we dreamed about
would come to us somehow.
The ocean of adoption has a
rough and tumble tide,
But we jumped into the water
knowing you were worth the ride.
And even though the journey
had some sad and stormy weather,
The prize was worth a million storms
when we were all together.
It's difficult to dare to dream of
becoming a father or mother,
When you can't control your destiny
and need the help of others.
That's why you're such a miracle-
you found us and we found you.
We dared to dream,
we dreamed of you.
We dreamed...
and YOU came true!
