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
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
Closer to my home

Motherless children have a hard time
Motherless children have-a such a hard time
Motherless children have such a really hard time
A long way from home

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
