Songtekst
I was slowly passing 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,
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
People come for children and take them for their own,
But they all seem to pass me by and I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
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.
