As I was slowly passing
An orphan's home, one day
And 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
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower, I'm growing wild
No mommy'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
And I'm left here all 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
Just like a flower, I'm growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
No mommy's arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven
Where all the 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
Just like a flower, I'm growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
