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
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
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
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
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
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
