Discovering What's True

 

Mum said I'm old enough to know the news,

She said I'm adopted, that is what's true,

A hefty issue over which one chews.

 

Quickly my family felt like a ruse,

Of all those adopted, I knew so few.

Mum said I'm old enough to know the news.

 

Who our parents are we never do choose,

My real mother dreams like the morning dew.

A hefty issue over which one chews.

 

My identity is not what I'd lose,

With this information that was so new.

Mum said I'm old enough to know the news,

 

Of my birth parents I would not refuse,

The ones I live with, my primary crew.

A hefty issue over which one chews.

 

Pleased to know the truth; it's a pleasant fuse,

When I was young I would have had no clue.

Mum said I'm old enough to know the news,

A hefty issue over which one chews.
