    1. 1

      why are international adoptions easier. There are so many orphaned children that could have home if there were easier avenues to pursue. These agencies do great things for the children, but they are not finding them forever homes.

      What about sunrise
      What about rain
      What about all the things
      That you said we were to gain.. .
      What about killing fields
      Is there a time
      What about all the things
      That you said was yours and mine…
      Did you ever stop to notice
      All the blood we've shed before
      Did you ever stop to notice
      The crying Earth the weeping shores?

      Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

      What have we done to the world
      Look what we've done
      What about all the peace
      That you pledge your only son…
      What about flowering fields
      Is there a time
      What about all the dreams
      That you said was yours and mine…
      Did you ever stop to notice
      All the children dead from war
      Did you ever stop to notice
      The crying Earth the weeping shores `

      Now I don't know where we are
      Although I know we've drifted far

      Re: DukeSteele – No doll! I like the song by Michael Jackson!
      I felt it was right for this post. No one ever comes to these types of post anyway. So the question is are you BORED! I've done nothing but put out a song. Big deal! Kisses!!!

      Btw, this is the song that was performed at the grammies with Carrie, Usher, Jennifer and a host of other performers who did a great job. Listen to the song and you will see where I'm coming from.
