As I was slowly passing an orphans' 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 mama's kisses or no daddy's smiles...
Nobody wants me... I'm nobody's child...
Some people come for children and take them for their own,
But they just seem to pass me by, and I am left alone;
Sure, 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, sure just growing wild...
No mama's kisses or no daddy's smiles...
Nobody wants me... I'm nobody's child...
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry,
Sometimes I get so lonely here I wish that I could die;
But when I walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see,
And just like all the other kids there'll be a home for me.
I'm nobody's child... I'm nobody's child...
I'm just a flower, just growing wild...
No mama's kisses or no daddy's smiles...
Nobody wants me... I'm nobody's child...
