1
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
2
And stopped 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 could not 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 smile
8
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
9
People come for children and take them for their own
10
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
11
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
12
They always take some other child and I am left behind
13
No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
14
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
15
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
16
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me
17
[spoken]
18
I just can't seem to figure out
19
Why the folks all pass me by
20
Cause I know that it's true that god takes
21
Little blind children with him in the sky
22
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty
23
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
24
But then they take some other little child
25
And I'm left here all alone
26
I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
27
I'm like a flower just growing wild
28
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
29
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
