As I was slowly passing An orphans’ home one day And stopped for just 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 the flowers I’m growing wild No mummy’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 seem to pass me 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 mummy’s kisses And no daddy’s smile Nobody wants me I’m nobody’s child
