Motherless Child Songtext
von Jimmy Somerville

Now I think, but it really is, like, you know, it′s kinda a good night (fuck off!)
Really, I've got nothing else to do
Apart from, I could do a little acapella number for you
But you know it′s kind of a, it's a bit kind of a-
Well, it's not really sad, I mean I think it′s, it′s all of our stories really, you know
If you're gay and lesbian and you′re growing up in your little communities
And you're growing up in your families
You know there′s something very different about you
And you have a little cry in your heart, you have a little cry in your heart
And you know, this is, this is for you

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
A long way from my home


Sometimes I feel like my hopes are in vain, ooh
Sometimes I feel like my hopes are in vain
Sometimes I feel like my hopes are in vain
And there's no way to get home
And there′s no way to get home

Sometimes I need to believe in myself
Sometimes I need to believe in myself
Sometimes when I just believe in myself
Then I can find my way, my way home

Oh, sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Ooh, sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Then all I do, I believe in myself
And then, that's when I, I find my way home
Yes, that's, that′s when I, I find my way home

Thank you and good night
Thank you, bye-bye, thank you very much
