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.
