Motherless Child - Blind Boys of Alabama

Motherless Child Lyrics

Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child :|
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
|: A Long Way From Home :|
True Believer
|: A Long Way From Home :| |: Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child :|
|: Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird up in the sky :|
Sometimes I wish I could fly,
Like a bird in the sky
Little closer to home|: Motherless children
Have a real hard time :|
Motherless children
Have a such a real hard time

So long so long so long|: Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child :|
Sometimes I feel
Like a motherless child
So far away|: Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near :|
Sometimes I feel
Like freedom is near
But we're so far away
