Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing An orphan's 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 the flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child No mummy's arms to hold me Or sue me when I cry 'cos sometimes I feel so lonesome I wish that I could die I'll walk the streets of heaven Where all blinds can see And just like for the other kids It will be a home for me I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child Just like the flowers I'm growing wild I got no mummy's kisses I got no daddy's smile Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
