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 Sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird up in the sky Sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird up in the sky Sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird up in the sky
But I'm a long way from home Sometimes I feel like a change is gonna come Sometimes I feel like a change oh, oh, like a change Oh sometimes I feel, oh like a change is gonna come But we're a long way from home
