Motherless Child (from ”Black Nativity”) lyrics

[Intro]
Can't she see it breaks my heart to let her hug me?
Tell me, how can she send me away if she really loved me?
Been me and her since I set foot on this Earth
My daddy went M.I.A after my birth
Every time I look in my mom I see her dilemma
I’m the one thing standing between her and being a winner
And she says, "How can I ever get it together when you be wildin' out?"
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, no doubt

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Right now I feel like a motherless child

A long way from home
A long way from my home

I wish that I could fly away
Rewind time, undo my mistakes
Close my eyes, and when I awake
I'll be back at home
But I’m a long long way from my home

Sometimes I feel all alone, (motherless child)
No one to call on, (motherless child)
I'm so far from home, (motherless child)
Daddy long gone, (motherless child)
