Lyrics

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 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 hard time
Motherless children have a hard time
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like the Kingdom is at hand,
Sometimes I feel like the kingdom is at hand
Sometimes I feel like the Kingdom is at hand,
But we're so far from home

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
Sometimes I feel like freedom is here
Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
But we're so far from home

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
