Nobody's Child by Tony Sheridan

As I was slowly passing an orphan's 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 flowers I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses, I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child

No mummy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry
‘Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome I wish that I could die
I'll walk the streets of heaven where all blinds can see
And just like for the other kids it will be a home for me

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child
Just like the flowers I'm growing wild
I got no mummy's kisses, I got no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child
