*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,
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.
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,
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.
