You’ll be you and I’ll be meLike water to a flameBut in the end I guess we’re all the same
So light a fire and burn through all the sufferingBlack is the nightBut you don’t need to let that darkness in
\Who is they?
And who is us?Ain’t no use in fightingCause one day soon our bodies will be dust
Hallelujah, we’re all singing hallelujahWouldn’t it be better if we all came togetherCarrying each other through todayNothing in our way

You and I used to meet on the crowded street;
High on absinthe and all distilled so sweet.
Under a doorway lit by a single bulb:
You asked me if I could give you my love.
Sir I cannot give what I do not feel –
So don't ask and ask you wax me ill.
Yet, I should think there a girl
who might take pity on you –
Who'd love you like you know
I could never do.
Nell or Nan won't give you trouble
like you know I would;
Their love is free, which I'm sure you deserve.
Now, let's shake hands and
call ourselves “friend”.
For all things start and
all things must end.
I shall say our time together was
that most pleasant.
Remember me well and
harbor no resentment.
But why you go ‘round and say
that I have no heart?
It don't make sense
– you want what you say I ain't got.
C’mon, now, sir.
Now, I said I could not love you
and that I mean.
Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.

Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.
            She ain't said never better wait and see.
Ain't no man gonna put a rope around me.
            She ain't said never better wait and see.

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 freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

And I’m a long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Way up in that heavenly land

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
