[E]
I'm nobody's child, [A] I'm [E] nobody's child
I'm like a flower, [F#] just [B] growing wild
[C#] [E] No mommy's kisses, [A] there's no [E] daddy's smile
[A] [E] Nobody wants me, [B] I'm [E] nobody's child
I was slowly passing an orphanage home one day
[A]
I stopped for just a minute, to [F#] watch the children play
[E] Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
[F#] He turned with [B] eyes he couldn't see and he [E] began to cry
Well the people they come for children [A] and take them for their own
But [E] somehow they just passed me by and I'm left [A] all alone
I [Bm] know they'd like to take me but [E] when they see I'm blind
Well they always take some other child and I'm left behind
I'm nobody's child, [A] I'm [E] nobody's child
I'm like a flower, [F#] just [B] growing wild
[E] No mommy's kisses, [A] there's no [E] daddy's smile
[A]
Nobody [E] wants me, [B] I'm [E] nobody's child
No mommy's arms to hold me or [A] to soothe me when I cry
[E]
Sometimes it gets so lonely that [F#] Lord I wish that [B] I could die
[E] Then I'd walk the streets of heaven where [A]
all the blind could see
[E] And just like [A] all the other kids, well [B] maybe there'd be a home [E] for me
I'm nobody's child, [A] I'm [E] nobody's child
I'm like a flower, [F#] just [B] growing wild
[E] No mommy's kisses, [A] there's no [E] daddy's smile
