Nobody's Child

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, 'Cause 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. --- Nobody's Child - The Alexander Brothers
