Motherless Child

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
