Richie Havens - Number One lyrics

[Intro: sample of Richie Haven's "Freedom (Motherless Child)"] Freedom [x4] Sometimes I feel like a motherless child [x2] A long way from my home Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone [x2] [1st verse: John Gourley] When the morning came Like another's pain But didn't know to fade Like the sound it made Let's go down the drain With the falling rain Wash away the stains In the evening shade [Bridge] It's that sufferin' Don't know why it brings Such sweet memories Will be the end of me [Chorus: John Gourley] But you'll come out all right (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight But you don't know how But you don't know how [Interlude] No no no no No no no no No no no no [2nd verse: John Gourley] Oh the trails we blazed Have long since been paved Leading the modern age On down memory lane Can't turn the page Like it's just a phase Somehow still be amazed That the leaves had changed [Bridge: John Gourley] It's that sufferin' Don't know why it brings Such sweet memories Will be the end of me [Chorus: John Gourley] [x2] But you'll come out all right (Yeah) I know it seems there's no end in sight (Yeah) But it doesn't mean you can't put up a fight But you don't know how But you don't know how [interlude] [Richie Haven's "Freedom (Motherless Child"] Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone [x2] When I leave my brother (yeah) father (yeah) sister (yeah) mother Yeah yeah yeah yeah [Outro: John Gourley, Zach Carothers(?)] It's gonna be all right Telling white lies Late nights The sunrise Cause when we rise up We rise up above All of the chaos To [?] Don't make it don't make it wake up Cause I'm gonna be like a drum And never get soul or give soul (?) But baby you make me feel love
