Moby - 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
a 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 bat 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 my name
this was my truth
this was no game
this was not hope, this was sane
and from these broken places made
that was loss sans this was later
I wanted less but nothing greater
I couldn’t leave
I couldn’t stay
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 liad in wait but so much later
and neversafe from all this danger
he demon’s eyes, the demon satyr
I was bait but what would bat 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 my name
this was my truth
this was no game
this was not hope, this was sane
and from these broken places made
that was loss sans this was later
I wanted less but nothing greater
I couldn’t leave
I couldn’t stay
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
