英文乡村歌曲：Nobody's child

as¹ i was² slowly³ passing
an open home one day,
i stopped for a moment,
just to watch the children play.
alone⁴ a boy was standing⁵
and when i asked him why,
he turned with eyes that could⁶ not see
and he began to cry.
i'm nobody⁷'s child,
i'm nobody's child.
just like the flower
i'm growing wild⁸.
no mummy's kisses⁹
and no daddy's smile.
nobody wants me,
i'm nobody's child.

people come for children and take for their own¹⁰,
but they are seem¹¹ to pass me and why i never knew only now.
i know they like to take me, but when they see i'm blind¹²,
they always take some other child and i am left behind.
i'm nobody's child,
i'm nobody's child.
just like the flower
i'm growing wild.
no mummy's kisses
and no daddy's smile.
nobody wants me,
i'm nobody's child.

no mummy's arms to hold me
or sure me when i cry,
sometimes i get so lonesly
i wish that i could die¹³.
i'll walk the streets of heaven¹⁴
where all the blind can see.
and just like all the other kids¹⁵
there will be a home for me.
i'm nobody's child,
i'm nobody's child.
just like the flower
i'm growing wild.
no mummy's kisses
and no daddy's smile.
nobody wants me,
i'm nobody's child.


nobody wants me,
i'm nobody's child
