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 why the folks all pass me by
10
'Cause I know that it's true that God takes little blind children with him in the sky
11
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty and they seem to like my big curls of gold
12
But then they take some other little child and I'm left here all alone.
13
People come for children and take them to their own
14
But they all seem to pass me by and leave me here alone
15
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
16
They always take some other child and I am left behind.
17
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
18
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
19
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see
20
And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me.
21
(I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child
22
I'm like a flower just growing wild)
23
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles
24
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child...
