sometimes i feel like a motherless child,
sometimes i feel like a motherless child,
sometimes i feel like a motherless child,
so far from home.
this was life and this was safer,
always strange, and always stranger
a latent hate but so much later
i’m never safe from all this danger
the demon’s eyes and demon sate her
i was bait but what would bait her?
don’t know my needs, don’t know my way sir
i hide my face no way to face her
this was loss this was my name
this was my truth this was no game
this was not hope this was not sane
and from these broken places made
that was loss and this was later
i wanted less but nothing greater
i couldn’t leave, i couldn’t stay, sir
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,
so far from home.
this was loss but this was later
always hate but never hate her
i laid in wait, but so much later
i’m never safe from all this danger
the demon’s eyes and demon sate her
i was bait and what would bait her
don’t know my needs, don’t know my way sir
i hide my face no way to face her
this was loss this was my name
this was my truth this was no game
this was not hope this was not sane
and from these broken places made
that was loss and this was later
i wanted less but nothing greater
i couldn’t leave, i couldn’t stay, sir
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,
so far from home.
