Lyrics
10,000 Miles
In 1991 the man wanted a son
but that was not to be, there were no roots on the family tree
The couple tries it all and rather short they would fall
to launch a pregnancy they even tried artificially
Ten thousand miles
across an ocean in a culture wild in Romania
ten thousand miles
a son and daughter found a loving passage to america
100,000 orphans in a wasteland
a ward of children teething
a row of cribs with the paint peeling
they found Hunter and Brit
and hearts were broken that day
a single treasured toy stuck forever on the room ceiling
( repeat chorus )
Gifting bribery you must pay a fee
get your business done beware of soldiers with
big big guns
communist or free he didn't care what it would be
grease a hundred palms
take the baby's and walk don't run
( repeat chorus )
