Dear you,

Or to whom it may concern,

This isn’t just a letter that you will read today

This isn’t an apology for something that I did

This isn’t a little plea to wash the pain away

Dear you,

Or to whom it may concern

I’m sharing where my heart is no matter what it brings

I’m hurt and I am dying as this letter I do sing

It’s time for me to go and please don’t say anything….to anyone….

 

I’m going…..

Chorus

To a better place

One with laughter and more grace

To a better day

One without money and without hate

To a life,

Where smiles are forever and my love for you won’t fade…..away….

Dear you….dear love….dear friend

 

Dear you,

Or to whom it may concern

The life that I have led has caused so many to be warned

I’ve hurt too many people and I’ve loved with all my heart

I’ve always lived my life to be a mirror of my art….

I show…

You what’s on my mind

I know…

You will soon find

That my departure is

What needs to happen now…..

I’m going

Chorus

To a better place

One with laughter and more grace

To a better day

One without money and without hate

To a life,

Where smiles are forever and my love for you won’t fade…..away….

Dear you….dear love….dear friend

 

Dear you,

Or to whom it may concern

Thank you for understanding

I hope that you have learned

That adoption isn’t perfect but the one it really hurts

Is the one who carries the feelings and the guilt….

Bridge

That they owe someone

They were not thankful enough

They owe someone

They are not grateful enough

They can’t repay…all the money spent on them

They are confused where it is that they fit in….

 

So Dear you,

Or to whom it may concern,

If you are a mommy or a daddy who has a child of their own

If you are a mommy or a daddy who has adopted another one

Just listen to my letter as I sing it with all my heart

We’ve already been torn apart

Be open and help us

as we try and find the pieces to our mysterious history

As we try to understand the real real “me”

As we look into our hearts and know that we love you

But we also, yes we also love them too

 

So let us go….

To a better place

One with laughter and more grace

To a better day

One without money and without hate

To a life,

Where smiles are forever and our love for you won’t fade…..away….

Dear you….dear love….dear friend….dear family
