Nobody’s Child

I’m nobody’s child I’m nobody’s child I’m like a flower just growing wild


There’s no mommy’s kisses and no daddy’s smiles


Nobody wants me I’m nobody’s child


I was slowly passin’ an orphan’s home one day


And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play


Alone a boy was standin’ and when I asked him why


He turned his eyes that couldn’t see and he began to cry


People come for children and take them for their own


But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone


I know they’d like to take me but when they see that I’m blind


They always take some other child and I’m left behind


I’m nobody’s child…


No mother’s arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry


Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish I could die


I walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see


And just like for the other kids there’d be a home for me


No mommy’s kisses and no daddy’s smiles nobody wants me I’m nobody’s child
