I'm 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,

'cos 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.
