Nobody's Child

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 sue 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.
