I was slowly passing 
An orphan's home one day
I stopped there for a moment 
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 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 just stop passing by 
And I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me 
But when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child 
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) mother's arms to hold me 
Or soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here 
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

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
