| Nobody's Child |
| D | D7 | G | |
| As | I was slowly passing | by an | orphan's home one day, |
| A7 | D | |
| I | thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children | play. |
| D7 | G | |
| Alone, a boy was | standing, and | when I asked him why, |
| A7 | D | |
| He | turned with eyes that could not see and this was his re- | ply. |
| Chorus>>> |
| G | A7 | D | |
| I'm | nobody's child, | nobody's | child. |
| A7 | D | |
| I'm like a flower, just growing | wild. |
| D7 | G | |
| No mommy's | kisses and no | daddy's smiles, |
| A7 | D | |
| Nobody | wants me, I'm nobody's | child. |
| People come for children to take them for their own, |
| But they seem to pass me by and why I never know. |
| I know they want to take me, but when they see I'm Blind, |
| They always pick some other child and I am left behind. |
| Repeat Chorus>>> |
| No mommy's arms to hold me and soothe me when I cry, |
| Sometimes I feel so lonely, I wish that I could die. |
| I'll walk the street of heaven where all the blind can see, |
| Then I'll be like other kids, There'll be a place for me. |
| Repeat Chorus>>> |
