Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing an orphans home one day
I stopped there for a moment just 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
Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child
Just like a flower Im growing wild
No mommys kisses and no daddys smile
Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child
People come for children and take them for their own
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
I know theyd like to take me, but when they see Im blind
They always take some other child and I am left behind
Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child
Just like a flower Im growing wild
No mommys kisses and no daddys smile
Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child
No mommys arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry
Sometimes I get so lonely, I Just wish that I could die
Ill walk the street of heaven where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids, thered be a home for me
Im nobodys child, Im nobodys child
Just like a flower Im growing wild
No mommys kisses and no daddys smile
Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child
Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child
