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, 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      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
