Nobodys Child

NOBODIES CHILD by Harry Hibbs

While I was slowly passing,an orphans home one day

I thought I'd stop a little while

just to watch the children play

Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why

He turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry

I'm nobodies child,I'm nobodies child

I'm like a flower,just growing wild

No mamma's kisses and no daddies smiles

Nobody wants me,I'm nobodies child

People come for children,to take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me by,and why I'll 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 mommies arms to hold me,or soothe me when I cry

Sometimes I feel so lonely ,I wish that I could die

I'd walk the streets of heaven,where all blind children see

Then I'd be like other kids.there'd be a place for me
