O.V. Wright - Motherless Child lyrics

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
