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
