Jour 42 : Motherless Child

Publié le 07 novembre 2008 par Jocelynbeaumont
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
Harry Thacker Burleigh, 191? (1866-1949)
