Caroline du Preez - Nobody's Child Lyrics

As I was slowly passing
An orphans' home one day
I stopped there for a moment
Just to watch the children play

Alone a boy was standing
And when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that couldn't see
And he began to cry

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower
Just growing wild

No mummy's kisses
And no daddy's smiles
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

People come for children
And take them for their own
But they, they all seem to pass me by
And I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me
But when they see I'm blind
They take some other child
And I'm left behind

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower
I'm growing wild

No mummy's kisses
And no daddy's smiles
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child

No mommy's arms to hold me
And soothe me when I cry
Sometimes I feel so lonely here
I wish that I could die

I'll walk the streets of Heaven
Where all blind can see
And then 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 mummy's kisses
And no daddy's smile
Nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child
