Karaoké Nobody's Child Karen Young

As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day

And stopped there for a moment just 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 mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child

People come for children and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me and I'm left here all alone

I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind

They always take some other child and I am left behind

I'm nobody's child

I'm nobody's child

Just like a flower

I'm growing wild

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child

No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry

Sometimes it gets so lonely

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 mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child

Nobody wants me

I'm nobody's child
