As 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
*Im nobodyschild Im nobodys child Just like a flower, I am growing wild No mummys kisses and no daddys smile Nobody wants me, Im nobodys child
People come for children and take them for their own But they all seem to pass me and I'm left here all alone I know theyd like to take me but when they see Im blind They always take some other child and Im left behind. (Repeat *)
No mummys arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely I just wish that I could die Id walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see And just like all the other kids thered be a home for me. (Repeat*)
