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 a flower, I’m growing wild,
No Mummy’s kisses, and no Daddy’s smile, nobody wants me,
I’m nobody’s child.

No Mothers arms to hold me, or sooth me when I cry,
Sometimes it gets so lonesome here, 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,
I’m nobody’s child, I’m nobody’s child, just like a flower, I’m growing wild,
No Mummy’s kisses, and no Daddy’s smile, nobody wants me,
I’m no-body’s child.
