Lyrics: Nobody Wanted Me

by Joy Saunders Lundberg

Nobody wanted me, not me,
A child too old on a stormy sea.
Caught in a trap I did not set,
Abandoned by everyone I met.

Yet in the night I’d have my dreams
Of arms of love reaching out to me.
But I would awake alone and sad,
Just wishing once more for a mother and dad.

Nobody wanted me, not me,
But if they’d just look inside they’d see
Someone who has so much to give,
A child who just wants a chance to live,

Wishing and hoping for the day
When I could learn and just laugh and play,
And turn far away from all that’s bad,
To find all the good in a mother and dad.

(Chorus)
Then one day my happiest dream came true.
I saw the love in your eyes and I knew,
At last somebody wanted me
And I would have a family.
The time had come and I finally had
A forever loving mother and dad.

Nobody wanted me, not me.
You came along and you set me free.
Filling my life with love at last,
Erasing the sorrows of the past.

Now all that love will be passed on
To my own children who come along.
I’ll share all the joy that I have had,
I’ll give them a home with a mother and dad.

(Repeat chorus, begin with “For”)
