Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
A long ways from home

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
But it's so far aways, it's so far awaaays

Sometimes I wish dat I cou'd fly,
Sometimes I wish dat I cou'd fly,
Sometimes I wish dat I cou'd fly,
Like dem birds in the skyyy,
A liddle bit closer to hooome

Sometimes I feel like I?m almos? gone
Sometimes I feel like I?m almos? gone
Sometimes I feel like I?m almos? gone
Way up in de heab?nly land
Way up in de heab?nly land

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long ways from home
There?s praying everywhere
