COMPOSER NOTES

​A haunting setting of the traditional spiritual.   After a lonely, unison opening verse, I wanted the eerie, lush harmonies to transport the listeners "a long way from home."   

LYRICS

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, a long way from home.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone,
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone,
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone,
A long way from home, a long way from home.
