D G
I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
D E7 A7
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play
D G
A lonely boy was standing and when I asked him why
D A7 D
He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry
D7 G
I'm nobody's child I’m nobody's child
A7 D
I’m like a flower just growing wild
D7 G
No mommy’s kisses no daddy's smile
A7 D
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
G
People come for children and take them for their own
D E7 A7
But they all seem to pass me by and leave me all alone
D G
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
D A7 D
They always take some other child and I am left behind
G
No mommy’s arms to hold me or sooth me when I cry
D E7 A7
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I wish that I could die
D G
I’d walk the streets of heaven where all the blind can see
D A7 D
And just like all the other kids there’d be a home for me
Next two verses are spoken:
D
I just can’t seem to figure out
G
Why the folks all pass me by
D
Cause I know that it’s true that God takes
E7 A7
Little blind children with Him in the sky
D
And they tell me I’m so pretty
G
And they seem to like my big curls of gold
D
But then they take some other little child
A7 D
And I’m left here all alone
D7 G
I'm nobody's child I’m nobody's child
A7 D
I’m like a flower just growing wild
D7 G
No mommy’s kisses no daddy's smile
A7 D
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
