Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing an orphanage one day

I 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

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 smiles

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

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 smiles

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
