As I was slowly 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

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 I'm left behind

No Mummy's arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here, I wish I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven, where all the blind can see
And just like for 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.
