6 7 -8 8 9 -9 8 As I was slowly passing -8 7 -5 -5 7 -6 An orphan's home one day -6 6 7 8 9 -9 8 And stopped there for a moment -8 7 -8 -6 -7 7 -8 Just to watch the children play 6 7 -8 8 9 -9 8 Alone a boy was standing -8 7 -5 -5 7 -6 And when I asked him why -6 6 7 8 9 9 -9 -6 He turned with eyes that could not see 7 -7 6 8 -8 7 And he began to cry 6 6 5 -5 6 7 8 9 8 7 -5 I'm nobody's child, I'm no--body's child 6 -7 7 -8-8 -8 7 -8 8 Just like a flower I'm growing wild 8 7 -8 8 9 9 -9 7 -6 -5 No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile 6-7 7 -8 -8 8 -9 -7-8 7 Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child (The rest of the song has the same notes as above) People come for children And take them for their own But they all seem to pass me And I'm left here alone I know they'd like to take me But when they see I am blind They always take some other child And I am left behind I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child Just like a flower I'm growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child No mommy's arms to hold me Or soothe me when I cry Sometimes it gets so lonely I wish that I could die I'd walk the streets of heaven Where all the blind can see And just like all the other kids There'd be a home for me I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child Just like a flower I'm growing wild No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child |
