Nobody's Child

As I was slowly passing
 An orphan's home today
 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 momma'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
 Babies in their cribs
 They've long since stopped their crying
 As no one ever hears
 And no one's there to notice them
 Or take away the fears
 Nobody's child
 Nobody's child
 Just like a flower
 They're growing wild
 Got no mommy's kisses
 And no daddy's smiles
 Nobody wants them
 They're nobody's child
 Nobody's child
 They're nobody's child
 Just like a flower
 They're growing wild
 No mommy's kisses
 And no daddy's smiles
 Nobody wants them
 They're nobody's child
 Nobody wants them
 They're nobody's child
