Through the Adopted Girl's Eyes
Through the adopted girl’s eyes, all she sees is abandonment.
She sees trust issues, heartache, and fear.
How could she ever heal
Through the adopted girl’s eyes, all she saw was a yearning thought
She was taught from a young age not to search for answers
But how could she ever learn what she couldn’t be taught
Through the adopted girl’s eyes, she saw herself in a mirror
What she saw couldn’t have been her
She knew nothing of herself, but it couldn’t have been clearer
