[D]I was slowly passing an orp[G]han's home one day
And s[D]topped there for a moment just to wa[E]tch the children pl[A]ay
Alo[D]ne a boy was standing and wh[G]en I asked him why
He tur[D]ned with eyes that co[G]uld not see and h[A]e began to c[D]ry
Chorus
I'm no[D]body's child, I'm nobody's ch[G]ild
I[A]'m like a flower just growing wi[D]ld
[D]No mommy's kisses and n[G]o daddy's smile
N[A]obody wants me I'm nobody's ch[D]ild
P[D]eople come for children and t[G]ake them for their own
But t[D]hey all seem to pass me by and [E]I am left alo[A]ne
I[D] know they'd like to take me but wh[G]en they see I'm blind
They alw[D]ays take some oth[G]er child and I[A] am left beh[D]ind
N[D]o mother's arms to hold me or s[G]oothe me when I cry
S[D]ometimes it gets so lonely here I w[E]ish that I could [A]die
I'd w[D]alk the streets of heaven where [G]all the blind can see
And j[D]ust like all the ot[G]her kids there'd [A]be a home for [D]me
(spoken)
I just can[D]'t seem to figure out Why the folks all pass me [G]by
Cause [A]I know that it's true that god takes Little blind
chil[D]dren with him in the sky
[D]And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty And t[G]hey seem to
like my big curls of gold
But th[D]en they take some other little child And I'm left
here all al[D]one
Chorus
I'm nob[D]ody's child, I'm nobody's ch[G]ild
I'[A]m like a flower just growing wi[D]ld
No mommy's kisses and n[G]o daddy's smile
No[A]body wants me I'm nobody's chi[D]ld
And s[D]topped there for a moment just to wa[E]tch the children pl[A]ay
