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 

Sometimes I feel
Like it's close at hand 
Sometimes I feel
Like the freedom is near
But we're so far from home 

Sometimes, sometimes, |
Sometimes
So far, so far, so far, 
So far mama from you, so far
