Nobody's Child





As I was slowly passing
an orphan's home one day.
And stopped there for a moment
just to watch the children play.
Alone a boy was standing
and when I asked him why
he turned with eyes that could not see
and he began to cry.

R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

People come for children
and take them for their own.
But they all seem to pass me by
and I am left alone.
I know they'd like to take me
but when they see I'm blind
they always take some other child
and I am left behind.

R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

No mommy's arms to hold me
or soothe me when I cry.
Sometimes it gets so lonely
I wish that I could die.
I'd walk the streets of heaven
where all the blind can see.
And just like all the other kids
there'd be a home for me.

R E F R A I N :

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.
