Lyrics to an unfinished song
"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..."
~Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, "Old Plantation Hymns"
I'm home, but I'm lost...lost in my ways, in what I thought was my own...it now seems all very distant, as if I'm an onlooker, a passerby, staring at something familiar yet not the same...
family - familiar; odd how the root of that word can mean the complete opposite sometimes
I hear my own words come out of her mouth, yet they sound so different...
I see myself in her, yet our visions are world apart...
To come back, yet start anew with all the old feelings mixed with the prospect of change...it's too much all together.
~Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, "Old Plantation Hymns"
I'm home, but I'm lost...lost in my ways, in what I thought was my own...it now seems all very distant, as if I'm an onlooker, a passerby, staring at something familiar yet not the same...
family - familiar; odd how the root of that word can mean the complete opposite sometimes
I hear my own words come out of her mouth, yet they sound so different...
I see myself in her, yet our visions are world apart...
To come back, yet start anew with all the old feelings mixed with the prospect of change...it's too much all together.
