[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
So far from home
[Verse 1 - Moby]
EmThis was life and this was safer
EmAll was strange and always stranger
EmI laid but so much
EmI'm never safe from all this danger
EmThe demon's eyes and demon satyr
EmI was bait but what would bait her?
EmDon't know my needs, don't know my ways
EmI hide my face, no way to face her
EmThis was loss, this was name
EmThis was my truth, this was no game
EmThis was not hope, this was not sane
EmAnd from these broken places made
EmThat was loss and this was later
EmI wanted less but nothing greater
EmI couldn't leave, I couldn't stay
EmLike a motherless child
[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSo far from home
[Verse 2 - Moby]
EmThis was loss and this was later
EmAlways hate but never hate her
CI laid in wait but Bmso much later
EmAnd never safe from all this danger
EmThe demon's eyes, the demon satyr
EmI was bait, but what would bait her
EmDon't know my needs, don't know my ways
EmI hide my face, no way to face her
EmThis was loss, this was name
EmThis was my truth, this was no game
EmThis was not hope, this was not sane
EmAnd from these broken places made
CThat was loss and this was later
I wanted less but nothing gAmreater
I couldn't leave, I couldn't sCtay
EmLike a motherless child
[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSometimes I feel like a motherless child
EmSo far from home
EmSo far from home

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

So far from home

[Verse 1 - Moby]

This was life and this was safer

All was strange and always stranger

I laid but so much

I'm never safe from all this danger

The demon's eyes and demon satyr

I was bait but what would bait her?

Don't know my needs, don't know my ways

I hide my face, no way to face her

This was loss, this was 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

Like a motherless child

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

So far from home

[Verse 2 - Moby]

This was loss and this was later

Always hate but never hate her

C Bm

I laid in wait but so much later

And never safe from all this danger

The demon's eyes, the demon satyr

I was bait, but what would bait her

Don't know my needs, don't know my ways

I hide my face, no way to face her

This was loss, this was 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

Like a motherless child

[Hook - Raquel Rodriguez]

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

So far from home
