I was slowly passing an orp
han’s home one day
And s
topped there for a moment just to wa
tch the children pl
ay
Alo
ne a boy was standing and wh
en I asked him why
He tur
ned with eyes that co
uld not see and h
e began to c
ry
Chorus
I’m no
body’s child, I’m nobody’s ch
ild
I
’m like a flower just growing wi
ld
No mommy’s kisses and n
o daddy’s smile
N
obody wants me I’m nobody’s ch
ild
P
eople come for children and t
ake them for their own
But t
hey all seem to pass me by and
I am left alo
ne
I
know they’d like to take me but wh
en they see I’m blind
They alw
ays take some oth
er child and I
am left beh
ind
N
o mother’s arms to hold me or s
oothe me when I cry
S
ometimes it gets so lonely here I w
ish that I could
die
I’d w
alk the streets of heaven where
all the blind can see
And j
ust like all the ot
her 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
chil
dren with him in the sky
And they tell me that I’m oh so pretty And t
hey seem to
like my big curls of gold
But th
en they take some other little child And I’m left
here all al
one
Chorus
I’m nob
ody’s child, I’m nobody’s ch
ild
I'
m like a flower just growing wi
ld
No mommy’s kisses and n
o daddy’s smile
No
body wants me I’m nobody’s chi
ld
