[Verse 1]
In 1991
The man wanted a son
But that was not to be
There were no roots on the family tree
The couple tried it all
And rather short they would fall
To launch a pregnancy
They even tried artificially
[Chorus]
10, 000 miles
Across the ocean
In a culture wild
In Romania
10, 000 miles
A son and daughter
Found a loving passage
To America
! 00, 000 orphans
In a wasteland
