The Walkers I'm Nobody's Child song lyrics

NOBODY'S CHILD

I was slowly passing an orphans' home one day

I 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

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 am 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
