Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Long way from my home 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 Motherless children have a hard time Motherless children have-a such a hard time Motherless children have such a really hard time A long way from 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 --- Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child - Van Morrison
