Em    Am      Em
Sometime I feel like a motherless child 
  Em    C    D   Em
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child 
And sometimes I feel like a motherless child 
А long, long way from home 
 
And sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone 
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone 
Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone 
А long, a long way from home 
 
Come on, come on 
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry? 
I feel restless and I don't know why 
I cry for help but still feel alone 
Like a motherless child, a long way from home 
 
Lord, I'm lost, I can't find my way 
I'm dealing with the struggles in my day to day 
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong 
I try to run away but I've been running too long 
 
Sometimes I wish I could fly 
Like a bird up in the sky 
Oh, sometimes I wish I could fly 
Fly like a bird up in the sky 
Sometimes I wish I could fly 
Like a bird up in the sky 
Closer to my home 
 
Sometimes I feel like freedom is near 
Sometimes I feel like freedom is here 
Sometimes I feel like freedom is so near 
But we're so far from home
