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 life and this was safer

all was strange and always stranger

i 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 and 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

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
