Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Long way from my home

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird up in the sky

Oh, sometimes I wish I could fly, fly like a bird up in the sky

Sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird up in the sky

A little closer to home

[Verse 3]

Motherless children have a hard time

Motherless children have a, such a hard time

Motherless children have such a really hard time

But we're so far

[Verse 4]

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is here

Sometimes I feel like freedom is so near

But we're so far from home

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Baby, sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Long way from home

[Verse 5]

Sometimes I feel like it's close at hand

Sometimes I feel like the kingdom is at hand

Sometimes I feel like kingdom is now

But we're so far from home
