As I was slowly passing, an orphans’ 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 mother’s 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 nobody’s child.
