| I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day | |
| And stopped just for a moment just to watch the children play | |
| A lonely 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 | |
| No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile | |
| 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 and I am left here all alone | |
| I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind | |
| They always take some other kids and I am left behind | |
| I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child | |
| Just like a flower I'm growing wild | |
| No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile | |
| Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child | |
| No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry | |
| Sometimes it gets so lonely, 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 | |
| I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child | |
| Just like a flower I'm growing wild | |
| No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile | |
| Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child |
