Nobody's Child
Unseen Tears: Loneliness Echoed in Nobody's Child
Lyrics
As I was slowly passing
Passing by an orphanage
An orphan's home one day,
Observing an orphanage on a particular day
I stopped for just a little while
Paused briefly to observe children playing
To watch the children play.
Watching kids engage in play
Alone a boy was standing
An isolated boy stood apart
And when I asked him why,
Asked the boy a question
He turned with eyes that could not see
He turned, having sight issues, and began crying
And he began to cry.
His emotional response - crying
I'm nobody's child,
Expressing being parentless
I'm nobody's child.
Reiterating not having parental care
Just like the flowers
Comparing oneself to wild flowers
I'm growing wild.
Feeling untamed, unguided
I got no mummy's kisses
Lacking maternal affection
I got no daddy's smile.
Lacking paternal warmth
Nobody wants me,
Feeling unwanted or unclaimed
I'm nobody's child.
Reiterating lack of belonging
No mummy's arms to hold me
Missing maternal comfort
Or sue me when I cry,
Desiring maternal solace during distress
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
Expressing intense loneliness, contemplating death
I wish that I could die.
Wishing for an end to loneliness
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Desiring a heavenly afterlife
Where all blinds can see.
Imagining a place where everyone can see
And just like for the other kids
Believing in an equal home in heaven
It will be a home for me.
Anticipating a heavenly home like others
I'm nobody's child,
Reiteration of being without parents
I'm nobody's child.
Emphasizing lack of parental care
Just like the flowers
Repeating the comparison to wild flowers
I'm growing wild.
Stating a sense of untamed growth
I got no mummy's kisses
Emphasizing absence of maternal affection
I got no daddy's smile.
Emphasizing absence of paternal warmth
Nobody wants me,
Reiterating feeling unwanted or unclaimed
I'm nobody's child.
Expressing a lack of belonging
