As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day I stopped for just a little while 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 flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses, I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
No mummy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry ‘Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome I wish that I could die I'll walk the streets of heaven where all blinds can see And just like for the other kids it will be a home for me
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child Just like the flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses, I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
