Nobody's Child

I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child

I'm like a flower just growing wild

There's no mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

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 couldn't see and he began to cry

People come for children and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone

I know they'd like to take me but when they see that I'm blind

They always take some other child and I'm left behind

I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child

I'm like a flower just growing wild

There's no mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry

Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish 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

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
