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.
