A Child No One Wanted
[Verse 1]
I was left an orphan at the tender age of three
When the fickle hand of fate
Took my [?] Daddy's life from me
I guess I'll never know who was my next of kin
For nobody came to claim me
No one came to take me in
I was a child that no one wanted
This was a [?] that always haunted
My childhood years had magnified my doubts and fears
I was raised with children
Who had no one just like me
Who had never known the comfort
Of a home and family
I believed in Santa Claus
Through every Christmas day
I got broken dolls and playthings
That thе children gave away
I was a child that no one wantеd
This was a [?] that always haunted
My childhood years had magnified my doubts and fears
I never thought that I would ever
Find a love with a kind of warmth and
Tenderness that I've been dreaming of
But then he touched my heart and
Opened up the door
To a world of love and happiness
I never knew he would
I was a child that no one wanted
This was a [?] that always haunted
My childhood years had magnified my doubts and fears
[Chorus]
I was a child that no one wanted
[Brenda]
I was a child that no one wanted
[Chorus]
This was a [?] that always haunted
My childhood years had magnified my doubts and fears
[Fades out]
[Chorus]
I was a child that no one wanted
[Brenda]
I was a child that no one wanted
This was a [?] that always haunted
My childhood
