1
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
2
And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play
3
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
4
He turned with eyes that couldn't see and he began to cry
5
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
6
I'm like a flower just growing wild
7
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles
8
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
9
I just can't seem to understand
10
Why the folks all pass me by
11
'Cause I know that it's true that God takes
12
Little blind children with him in the sky
13
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty
14
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
15
But then they take some other little child
16
And I'm left here all alone
17
People come for children and take them to their own
18
But they all seem to pass me by and leave me here alone
19
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
20
They always take some other child and I am left behind
21
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
22
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
23
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see
24
And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me
25
(I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child)
26
(I'm like a flower just growing wild)
27
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles
28
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
