As I was slowly passing an orphans' home one day
I stopped for just a little while 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
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
I got no mommy's kisses I got no daddy's smile
Oh nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child

No mummy's  arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here, I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of Heaven where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids, there'd be a home for me

People come for children and take them for their own
I know they'd like to take me, but I am left alone
They say they like my, curls of gold they like my eyes of blue
But They always take some other child and I'm left here with you

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild
I got no mommy's kisses I got no daddy's smile
Lord nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
