As I was slowly passing an orphan's home today
I'd stop 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 a flower, I'm growing wild
No mama's arms to hold me no daddy's smiles Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
In every town and village there are places just like this
With rows and rows of children babys in their cribs
They've long since stopped their crying cause no one ever hears
And no one's there to notice them or take away their tears
Nobody's child, nobody's child, Just like a flower, their growing wild
Got no mommies kisses no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them, their nobody's child
Nobody's child, their nobody's child, Just like a flower, their growing wild
No mama's kisses no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them, their nobody's child
Nobody wants them their no__body's child
