Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child A long way from home Well, sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone And a long way from home Well, sometimes the world's in the palm of my hand Sometimes the world's in the palm of my hand Sometimes the world's in the palm of my hand Sometimes I let go Well, sometimes I think on the way that we fell Sometimes I think on the way that we fell Sometimes I think on the way that we fell A long time ago I say, sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone And I'm a long way from home
