nobody's child |

|
As I was slowly passing |
|
an open home one day, |
|
I stopped 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. |
|
Just like the flower |
|
I'm growing wild. |
|
No mummy's kisses |
|
And no daddy's smile. |
|
Nobody wants me, |
|
I'm nobody's child. |
|
People come for children and take for their own, |
|
But they are seem to pass me and why I never knew only now. |
|
I know they 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. |
|
Just like the flower |
|
I'm growing wild. |
|
No mummy's kisses |
|
And no daddy's smile. |
|
Nobody wants me, |
|
I'm nobody's child. |
|
No mummy's arms to hold me |
|
or sure me when I cry, |
|
sometimes I get so lonesly |
|
I wish that I could die. |
|
I'll walk the streets of heaven |
|
where all the blind can see. |
|
And just like all the other kids |
|
there will be a home for me. |
|
I'm nobody's child, |
|
I'm nobody's child. |
|
Just like the flower |
|
I'm growing wild. |
|
No mummy's kisses |
|
And no daddy's smile. |
|
Nobody wants me, |
|
I'm nobody's child. |
|
Nobody wants me, |
|
I'm nobody's child. |
