Half A World Away

By Jill Marshall-Work

Half a world away

Sometimes it seems we're so far apart

But a half a world away

Its not too far for a journey of the heart

My little one, my precious joy

I'm waiting for you

My precious son, my little boy

I know you're waiting too

Half a world away

A child waits for a family of his own

While a half a world away

A family waits to come bring him home

My little one, my precious joy

I'm whispering a prayer

My precious son, my baby boy

I hope to soon be there

Half a world away

So many miles to bring you home at last

And half a world away

So many months of waiting are past.

My little one, my precious joy

You're fin'ly home to stay

My precious son, my little boy

We celebrate this day...

Knowing we will no longer be

Half a world away.
