As I was slowly walking
I passed an orphanage 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
He began to cry
I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower
I'm growing wild
I've got no mummy's kids
I've got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
I've got no mummy's arms to hold me
Soothe me when I cry
Sometimes I get so lonely here
I wish that I could die
I dream I walk the streets of heaven
Where all the blind can see
And just like all the other kids
It'd be a home for me
People they come for children
And they take them for their own
I only hope that someday
Some kind of day
Some kind person
Will take me to a place
That I can call my home
They say they love my golden hair
And my big blue eyes that shine
But you know
When they realize that I can't see
They always change their minds
Because I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower
I'm growing wild
I've got no mummy's kisses
I've got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
Don't
Don't worry don't ask me why
There's nobody's cell phone
