Nobody's Child

As I was slowly pa*sing an orphans home today I stopped for just a little while to watch the children play A lone boy 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 arms to hold me, no daddy's smile Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child" In every town and village There are places just like this With rows and rows of children And babies in their cribs They've long since stopped their cryin' As no one ever hears And no one's there to notice them Or take away their fears Nobody's child, they're nobody's child Just like a flower they're growin' wild Got no mommy's kisses, no daddy's smile Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child Nobody's child, they're nobody's child Just like a flower, they're growin' wild No mama's kisses and no daddy's smiles Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child
