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
