Lyrics
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
The narrator was passing by an orphanage one day.
And stopped just for a moment just to watch the children play
They stopped briefly to observe the children playing.
A lonely boy was standing and when I asked him why
They noticed a solitary boy and inquired about his situation.
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
The boy, who was blind, responded tearfully.
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
The boy expresses that he feels unwanted and unclaimed.
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
He compares himself to a wild-growing flower.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
He lacks maternal affection and paternal warmth.
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
He believes nobody desires him.
People come for children and take them for their own
People come to adopt children, but the boy gets overlooked.
But they all seem to pass me and I am left here all alone
He's consistently left behind and abandoned.
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
Although people consider adopting, they reject him upon realizing he's blind.
They always take some other kids and I am left behind
Others are chosen, leaving him isolated.
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Reiteration of feeling unwanted and unclaimed.
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
Reiterating his untamed and unguided growth like a wild flower.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Emphasizes the absence of parental love.
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
Reiteration of his feeling of being unwanted and unclaimed.
No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
He lacks the comforting embrace and solace of a mother.
Sometimes it gets so lonely, I wish that I could die
He feels immense loneliness and at times wishes for death.
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
Expresses a desire to exist in a place where blindness is no barrier.
And just like all the other kids, there'd be a home for me
Imagines being in a place where he'd have a home like other children.
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Restates the feeling of being unwanted and unclaimed.
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
Emphasizes his untamed growth and lack of guidance.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Highlights the absence of parental love once more.
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
Reiterates his feeling of being unwanted and unclaimed.
