Nobody's Child Songtext

von Travelling Wilburys

As I was slowly passing
An orphan's home today,
I stopped for just a little while
To watch the children play.
Alone a boy was standing,
And when I ask him why
He turned with eyes that could not see
And he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child, I'm nobody's child,
Just like a flower I'm growing wild.
No mama's arms to hold me, no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me, I'm nobody's child.

In ev'ry town and village
There are places just like this,
With rows and rows of children,
Baby's in their cribs.
They've long since stopped their crying,
As no one ever hears
And no one's there to notice them
Or take away their fears.

Nobody's child, nobody's child,
Just like a flower they're growing wild.
Got no mummy's kisses and no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child.

Nobody's child, they're nobody's child,
Just like a flower they're growing wild.
No mummy's kisses and no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child. Nobody wants them, they're nobody's child.
