Nobody's Child
A Heart's Cry: The Tale of an Unseen Soul
Lyrics
As I was slowly passing
As the narrator was passing by an orphan's home
An orphan's home one day,
Observing an orphanage on a particular day
I stopped for just a little while
The narrator stopped briefly
To watch the children play.
To observe the children playing
Alone a boy was standing
A boy stood alone
And when I asked him why,
The narrator inquired why
He turned with eyes that could not see
The boy, with sightless eyes, turned and started crying
And he began to cry.
Expressing the emotional pain of being an orphan
I'm nobody's child,
Declaration of being nobody's child
I'm nobody's child.
Reiteration of being nobody's child
Just like the flowers
Comparison to wild flowers symbolizing lack of nurture
I'm growing wild.
Expressing the untamed nature of the speaker's life
I got no mummy's kisses
Highlighting the absence of maternal affection
I got no daddy's smile.
Emphasizing the absence of paternal love
Nobody wants me,
Feeling unwanted and unclaimed
I'm nobody's child.
Reiteration of being nobody's child
No mummy's arms to hold me
Describing the lack of a mother's comforting embrace
Or sue me when I cry,
Reflecting on the absence of someone to console when crying
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
Expressing intense loneliness and a desire for release
I wish that I could die.
Wishing for an end to the emotional pain
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Imagining walking in heaven
Where all blinds can see.
Where even the blind can perceive
And just like for the other kids
Envisioning heaven as a home for the narrator, similar to other kids
It will be a home for me.
Anticipating a sense of belonging in heaven
I'm nobody's child,
Reiteration of being nobody's child
I'm nobody's child.
Emphasizing the loneliness and lack of belonging
Just like the flowers
Comparison to wild flowers, symbolizing untamed existence
I'm growing wild.
Reiteration of the speaker's untamed, unclaimed status
I got no mummy's kisses
Highlighting the absence of maternal affection
I got no daddy's smile.
Emphasizing the absence of paternal love
Nobody wants me,
Feeling unwanted and unclaimed
I'm nobody's child.
Final reiteration of being nobody's child
