Island of Misfit Toys

Welcome to our Island of Misfit Toys

We were once happy little girls and boys

With all our wishes and joys

But now we’ve grown

With children of our own

Trying to build our home

The one we never had

With our mom and dad

Recovering from the tragedy

Of overcoming our family

It wasn’t all bad you see

There were happy times too

But they always seem so far and in between

And much too few

To erase the pain

The scars

Of you wanting to be near

But staying far

So here we are

On the boat

To our Island of Misfit Toys we row

With our new family and friends in tow

To a place where we are free

To be happy with our adopted family
