nobody's child
As I was slowly passing
an open home one day,
I stopped for just a little while,
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.
I'm nobody's child,
I'm nobody's child.
Just like the flower
I'm growing 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
Babies in their cribs
They've long since stopped their cryin'
As no-one ever hears
And no-one there to notice them or take away their fears
Nobody's child, nobody's child
Just like a flower they're growin wild
No mama's kisses, and no daddy's smile
Nobody wants them they're nobodys child
Nobody's child,
they're nobody's child.
Just like the flower
they're growing wild.
No mummy's kisses
And no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants them,
they're nobody's child.
Nobody wants them,
They're nobody's child.
