Can You Hear a Mother's Cry?

As you look into their faces Wondering who each one will become One by one you refer them To become someone's daughter or son
I wonder Can you hear a mother's cry Far across the ocean wide Until the day she comes to know When she can bring her dear one home?
You feed, you wipe, you dress them With tender loving care Knowing someone, somewhere wants them And soon they will be there.
I wonder Can you hear a mother's cry Far across the ocean wide Until the day she comes to know When she can bring her dear one home?
Hearing each case before you You know there'll be more to come Children needing families And parents little ones.
I wonder Can you hear a mother's cry Far across the ocean wide Until the day she comes to know When she can bring her dear one home?
The wait is long and tiring But in faith and hope I press on. Soon our prayers will be answered And the waiting tears will be gone.
I wonder Can they hear this mother's cry Far across the ocean wide Until the day I come to know That I can bring my dear one home.
