Nobody's Child(traditional)

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,

'cos 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
