Nobody’s Child

As I was slowly passing an orphans home today

I stopped for just a little while to watch the children play

Alone a boy was standin' 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 growin' wild

No mama's arms to hold me, no daddy's smile

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 cryin'

As no one ever hears

And no one's there to notice them

Or take away their fears

Nobody's child, nobody's child

Just like a flower they're growin' wild

Got no mommy's kisses, 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 growin' wild

No mommy's kisses, no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child

Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child
