"Sometimes I feel like a Motherless Child" è un canto della tradizione spiritual. Il canto risale all'era della schiavitù negli Stati Uniti, quando era una pratica comune vendere i figli degli schiavi. Oltre che espressione di dolore e disperazione del bambino strappato ai genitori, la canzone rappresenta anche l'universale stato d'animo di ogni uomo che percepisce la sua breve vita sulla terra come un esilio dalla sua vera patria, il cielo.

LYRICS
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
A long ways from home
True believer
A long ways from home
Along ways from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almos’ gone
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land
True believer
Way up in de heab’nly land
Way up in de heab’nly land

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
There’s praying everywhere
