Motherless Child Lyrics

And sometimes I feel
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel WHOAOAO
Like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel yeahehe
Like I'm all alone
A long...a looong wayee from home

C'mon, C'mon
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but still feel alone
Like a motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm dealing with the struggles in my day to day
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long...
I've been running to long

HEEY

Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry
I feel restless and I don't know why
Cry for help, but I still feel alone
Like a motherless child along way from home
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way
I'm dealing with the struggles in my day to day
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long...
I've been running to long
Like a motherless child (x4)
So lost and so long
Like a motherless child

And sometimes I feel 
Like I'm almost gone 
Sometimes I feel WHOAOAO 
Like I'm almost gone 
Sometimes I feel yeahehe 
Like I'm all alone 
A long...a looong wayee from home

C'mon, C'mon 
Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry 
I feel restless and I don't know why 
Cry for help, but still feel alone 
Like a motherless child along way from home 
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way 
I'm dealing with the struggles in my day to day 
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong 
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long... 
I've been running to long

HEEY

Who's got a shoulder when I need to cry 
I feel restless and I don't know why 
Cry for help, but I still feel alone 
Like a motherless child along way from home 
Lord I'm lost I can't find my way 
I'm dealing with the struggles in my day to day 
My soul is weak and I wanna be strong 
I try to run away but I've been running to long

I've been running to long... 
I've been running to long 
Like a motherless child (x4) 
So lost and so long 
Like a motherless child

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
