   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
  I'm like a flower just 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 by and I am left 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
  
  No mother's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
  Sometimes it gets so lonely 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
  
  [spoken]
  I just can't seem to figure out
  Why the folks all pass me by
  Cause I know that it's true that god takes
  Little blind children with him in the sky
  And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty
  And they seem to like my big curls of gold
  But then they take some other little child
  And I'm left here all alone
  
  I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
  I'm like a flower just growing wild
  No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
  Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
