NOBODY'S CHILD
Karen Young
FIntro....
...As I was
slowly passing
An orphans' home
one day
And stopped
there for a moment
Just to watch
the children play
Alone a boy
was standing
And when
I asked them 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
People come
for children
And take them
for their own
But they all seem
to pass me
And I'm left 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'm left behind
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 soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets
so lonely,
I did 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 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
Nobody wants me,
I'm nobody's child...
