No Body's Child

As I was slowly passing

an orphan's home one day,

And stopped there for a moment

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.

 

Reff :

I'm nobody's child,

I'm nobody's child.

Just like a flowers

I'm growing wild.

No mummy's kisses

And no daddy's smile.

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

 

People come for children

and take them for their own

But they all seem to pass me

and I am left here all alone

I know they'd like to take me

but when they see I'm blind

They always take some other child

and I am left behind

 

to Reff :

 

No mummy's arms to hold me

or sue 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

 

to Reff :

Nobody wants me,

I'm nobody's child.

How did the singer meet the boy?
