Nobody`s Child

 Words and Music by Cy Coban and Mel Foree

 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
