 *Verse 1*
Once as I was passing, an Orphan's home one day,
I stopped there 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,
*Chorus*
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child. I'm like a flower, just growing wild,
No Mommy's kisses and no Daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.
*Verse 2*
People come for children and take them for their own,
But, they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone.
I know they'd like to take me, but when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child and they leave me behind.
*Chorus*
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child, I'm like a flower, just growing wild,
No Mummy's kisses, and no Daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.
*Verse 3*
No Mommy's arms to hold me, and soothe me when I cry,
Sometimes I feel so lonesome, I wish that I would die.
I'd walk the streets of Heaven, where all the eyes could see,
And just like all the other kids, there'd be a home for me,
*Chorus*
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child, I'm like a flower, just growing wild,
No Mommy's kisses, and no Daddy's smiles. Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child.
