Nobody's Child lyrics

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
