As I was slowly passing, an orphans home today
|
I stopped for just a little while to watch the children play
|
A lone boy standin', 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 growin' wild
|
No mama's arms to hold me no daddy's smile
|
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
|
And babies in their cribs
|
|
They've long since stopped their cryin'
|
As no-one ever hears
|
And no-one there to notice them or take away their fears
|
|
Nobody's child, they're nobody's child
|
Just like a flower they're growin wild
|
No mama's arms to hold them, no daddy's smile
|
Nobody wants them they're nobody's child
|
|
Nobody's child, they're nobody's child
|
Just like a flower they're growin wild
|
No mama's arms to hold them, no daddy's smile
|
Nobody wants them they're nobody's child
|
Nobody wants them they're nobody's child
|
