I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day |
|
And stopped just for a moment just to watch the children play |
|
A lonely 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 a flower I'm 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 and I am left here all alone |
|
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind |
|
They always take some other kids and I am left behind |
|
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child |
|
Just like a flower I'm 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 |
|
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child |
|
Just like a flower I'm growing wild |
|
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile |
|
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child |
