Lyrics

She was left in a basket
Back alley in Shanghai
Skin like a lily
Jet black eyes
Not the boy someone had wanted
Too many mouths to feed
The orphanage took her
Seventh one this week

Incense is burning on mats of bamboo
Workers are busy serving food
But she turns from the bottle, won?t take very much
That?s not what she?s needing , she needs a mother?s touch

Chorus: I know you?re out there somewhere
A need so deep it reaches cross the sea
Two halves of a whole will make connection
Needing you, needing me

We tried for ten years
Every road, every path
Each month a reminder
Of what we didn?t have
It was only when we gave up
Waiting for your birth
We saw it had already happened
Halfway round the earth
