Theme song
This song is the introduction to every episode and is sung by Bryn McAuley.

Once upon an orphanage

My life was a near tragic state

I longed to find a brighter place

Somewhere full of love and grace

I dream of fields with a cool ocean breeze

A home for my own family

When I got my wish I pinched myself

To make sure this home was real

They sent for a boy but then I was a girl

My dreaming had just let me down again

If I came as a queen with long ebony hair

Then maybe they'd feel I was worth it for them

I'm a good worker in spite of my talking

I've longed to belong here for all of my life

Don't send me away without seeing what I see

Everything I touch is full of delight

I'll do my best to not let you down

I can imagine a world full of joy

Just give me your hand and I'll teach you to hope

You'll find that I have something worthwhile

Just let me stay here and I'll love you forever

I promise a life full of smiles
