I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild There's no mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child I was slowly passin' an orphan's home one day And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play Alone a boy was standin' and when I asked him why He turned his eyes that couldn't see and he began to cry People come for children and take them for their own But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone I know they'd like to take me but when they see that I'm blind They always take some other child and I'm left behind I'm nobody's child... No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish I could die I walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
