Nobody's Child Lyrics

As I was slowly passing
An orphans´ 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 mammy´s kisses
I got no, no daddy´s smile
Nobody wants me
I´m nobody´s child
No mammy´s arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cry
But sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die

I walk the streets of heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids
There´ll be room for me
I´m nobody´s child
I´m nobody´s child
Just like the flowers
I´m, I´m growing wild

I got no mammy´s kisses
I got no, no daddy´s smile
Nobody wants me
I´m nobody´s child
