I was slowly pa**ing an orphan's home one day And 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 People come for children and take them for their own But they all seem to pa** 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 (No) mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely I wish that I could die I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me R E F R A I N : I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child I'm like a flower just growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
