Nobody's Child lyrics

As I was slowly passing

An orphan's home today

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 a flower

I'm growing wild

No momma's arms to hold me

No daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child

In every town and village

There are places just like this

With rows and rows of children

Babies in their cribs

They've long since stopped their crying

As no one ever hears

And no one's there to notice them

Or take away the fears

Nobody's child

Nobody's child

Just like a flower

They're growing wild

Got no mommy's kisses

And no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants them

They're nobody's child

Nobody's child

They're nobody's child

Just like a flower

They're growing wild

No mommy's kisses

And no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants them

They're nobody's child

Nobody wants them

They're nobody's child
