Story behind the song
Written around the anniversary of a significant house fire we had. My mind was playing the 'What If' game - what if the fire had happened hours earlier when we were asleep in bed. The song is a ballad about a little girl who survived a house fire but lost everything, including her face, to the fire.
Lyrics
They lined us up that morning, like so many times before And told us to 'smile' as they opened up the door. In came couple after couple, and I could plainly see It was Adoption Day... And no one wanted me. The scars upon my face just weren't an easy thing to hide The fire that took my family left me scarred up on the outside And they looked at me in horror, as they all just turned away And I was always left behind... On Adoption Day. Adoption Day! Adoption Day! What a day to be rejected, and to hear the people say "Oh, my goodness! Who could love her!?" "Oh, please take that thing away!" It was always cold... On Adoption Day. But today I turned around and saw a man was standing there With compassion in his eyes, and silver in his hair And he said that he'd been praying for a little girl like me To come and be his daughter, and join his family. My new daddy was a surgeon, and underneath his knife I received a brand new face, like I'd received a brand new life Now they look at me in wonder, at the change he made in me Since the moment I was chosen... On Adoption Day. Adoption Day! Adoption Day! What a day to be accepted, and to hear the people say "Oh, my goodness, what a beauty!" "And she has her father's face!" What a Dad I found On Adoption Day! Deep inside, we're all like that little girl who lost her home Rejected by the world, and left to die there all alone For they can't see past the ugliness, And scars from all our sin To the little girl who's crying... For a friend. But Our Father wants to free us from the orphanage of sin And to give to us a family, a Father, and a Friend Day by day, He wants to change us Through the surgery of grace Till His own Son is reflected... In our face. Adoption Day! Adoption Day! What a day to be forgiven Have our sins all washed away! And to daily be conformed into The image of His Son What a life I found On Adoption Day!
