Jour 42 : Motherless Child

|: 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
