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
'cause 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
