Motherless child angels have closed Their eyes, thou wast thrown away and exposed Don't you listen to the never Keep praying for rain Dancing for rain, no sweet for the pain of a motherless child Rescue rescue Keep your ear to the shell, keep your ear to the shell Stay on the path that leads to the well There are many, take the one that leads to the well Motherless child, follow my voice And I shall give thee great cause to rejoice Motherless child, be of good cheer My arm is reached out, I am here I'll crush every doubt and every fear Clothesline the shame and you will answer to the rain Wonderful wonderful, wonderful wonderful Motherless child I am with thee, thou wast never alone Maybe I'm dirty, maybe I'm unworthy Motherless child, can you hear me?
