Nobody's Child

Nobody's Child - Tony Richards

As I was slowly passing an orphans home one day

I stopped for just a amount to watch the children play

A lone boy was standin' 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 growin' wild

No mama's kiss 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'm here alone

IThey'd like my parents and I'm like so blue

They always take some other child and I am here with you

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 smiles

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 here I wish that I could die

I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see

And just like for the other kids there'd be a home for me

I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child

Just like a flower just growing wild

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

Nobody
