Nobody's Child Lyrics - Max Romeo

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day 

And stopped just for a moment just to watch the children play 

A lonely boy was standing 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 growing wild 

No mommy'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 am left here all alone 

I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind 

They always take some other kids and I am left behind 

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

Just like a flower I'm growing wild 

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile 

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child 

No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry 

Sometimes it gets so lonely, I 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 a home for me 

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

Just like a flower I'm growing wild 

No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile 

Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
