  • 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 sky
    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 Writer/s: Earl Walter Brown
