As I was slowly passing
An orphans' home one day
I stopped there for a moment
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
I'm like a flower
Just 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 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 I am left behind
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 smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
No mommy's arms to hold me
And soothe me when I cry
Sometimes I feel so lonely here
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven
Where all 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
I'm like a flower
Just growing wild
No mummy's kisses
And no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
