Motherless Child

Played with AI a bit to see what lyrics it would come up with…

Am               Dm                Am
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
            Dm                     Am
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
            Dm                     Am
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
E    E7          Am   E7
Long way from my home


Am              Dm                     Am
Sometimes I feel like a drifter in time
            Dm                        Am
Wandering lost, with no rhythm or rhyme
            Dm                        Am
Yet holding on, for a mountain to climb
E    E7          Am   E7
Long way from my home

 
Am          Dm           Am
Sometimes I wish I could fly
            Dm        Am
Like a bird up in the sky
                Dm           Am
Oh, sometimes I wish I could fly
E      E7    Am  E7
Closer to my home


Am              Dm               Am
Sometimes I gaze at the deep azure sky
            Dm                        Am
Wondering why, the world passes me by
            Dm                     Am
But in the silence, I hear a soft sigh
E    E7          Am   E7
Whispering of home


Am                  Dm          Am
Motherless children have a hard time
           Dm                          Am
Motherless children have-a such a hard time
                    Dm                      Am
Motherless children have such a really hard time
  E    E7       Am  E7
A long way from home


Am              Dm                  Am
Sometimes I walk in the shadows of night
            Dm                   Am
Sometimes I'm lost, without a guiding light
            Dm                   Am
Sometimes I wish for the morning's first light
E    E7          Am   E7
To lead me back home


Am                Dm             Am
Sometimes I stand by the roaring sea
             Dm                   Am
Hear its waves calling, beckoning me
                 Dm                   Am
Oh, the vast ocean, as lonesome as can be
E    E7          Am   E7
Still dreaming of home


Am                 Dm                 Am
Sometimes I hear the wind's mournful song
           Dm                      Am
Whispering tales of all that's gone wrong
               Dm                      Am
And in its tune, I find the strength to be strong
E    E7       Am  E7
Pushing towards home


Am               Dm                  Am
Sometimes the stars in the heavens I see
             Dm                   Am
Seem to be gazing, watching over me
             Dm                      Am
Their gentle twinkle, a promise to be free
E    E7          Am
Guiding me to home
 

Am               Dm                Am
Sometimes the moon casts a silvery glow
           Dm                          Am
Guiding my path, through the high and the low
              Dm                       Am
With its soft light, there's a hope that I know
E    E7          Am   E7
Shining on my home


Am                Dm                  Am
Sometimes the trees sway and dance with the breeze
            Dm                       Am
Whispering tales, secrets held by the leaves
               Dm                        Am
Their rustling sound, brings a moment's reprieve
E    E7       Am  E7
Thinking of my home


Am               Dm              Am
Sometimes I feel like freedom is near
            Dm                   Am
Sometimes I feel like freedom is here
                 Dm                 Am
Sometimes I feel like freedom is so near
          E  E7       Am
But we're so far from home


Am             Dm                     Am
Sometimes I'm held by the still of the night
           Dm                       Am
Embracing dreams, where everything's right
              Dm                    Am
Till dawn's first light, brings a new sight
E    E7          Am
Leading me to home
