Nobody's Child

nobody's child

Karen Youn

As I was slowly passing

an open home one day,

I stopped 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 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 mummy's kisses

And no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

People come for children and take for their own,

But they are seem to pass me and why I never knew only now.

I know they like to take me, but when they see I'm Blind,

They always take some other child and I am left behind.

I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

Just like the flower

I'm growing wild.

No mummy's kisses

And no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

No mummy's arms to hold me

or sure me when I cry,

sometimes I get so lonesly

I wish that I could die.

I'll walk the streets of heaven

where all the blind can see.

And just like all the other kids

there will be a home for me.

I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

Just like the flower

I'm growing wild.

No mummy's kisses

And no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.
