Capo 2nd fret to play along with the recording
[Verse]
As DI was slowly passing an Gorphan's home one day
And Dstopped there for a moment just to wEatch the children Aplay
ADlone a boy was standing and Gwhen I asked him why
He Dturned with eyes that Gcould not see and Ahe began to Dcry
[Chorus]
I'm Dnobody's child, I'm nobody's Gchild
AI'm like a flower just growing wDild
DNo mommy's kisses and Gno daddy's smile
NAobody wants me I'm nobody's cDhild
[Verse]
DPeople come for children and Gtake them for their own
But Dthey all seem to pass me by and EI am left aAlone
I Dknow they'd like to take me but Gwhen they see I'm blind
They Dalways take some Gother child and AI am left beDhind
No Dmother's arms to hold me or Gsoothe me when I cry
SomeDtimes it gets so lonely here I Ewish that I could Adie
I'd Dwalk the streets of heaven where Gall the blind can see
And Djust like all the Gother kids there'd Abe a home for Dme
[SPOKEN]
I Djust can't seem to figure out, why the folks all pass me Gby
'Cause I Aknow that it's true that god takes little blind children with him in the Dsky
And they Dtell me that I'm oh so pretty and they Gseem to like my big curls of gold
But Athen they take some other little child and I'm left here all alone
[Chorus]
I'm Dnobody's child, I'm nobody's Gchild
AI'm like a flower just growing wDild
DNo mommy's kisses and Gno daddy's smile
NAobody wants me I'm nobody's cDhild

Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

People come for children and take them for their own

They always take some other child and I am left behind

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