Odetta - Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child download

With all the things going on in the world right now, I needed this.

This hits deep for me !! My moms European it hurts but I’m loved but never felt it it hurts so deep god bless this feeling of hurt

We’ve come this far by faith leaning on the Lord trusting in His holy word and yet still there’s a greater need as ever for improvement. Our youth needs a good example the hate that has been displayed these as few days are heartbreaking

This era of music has so much soul!

Learning about this song in an African American class. This was an old slave song. Beautiful voice sad meaning

Ms. Odetta would sing this song on a show about Africa, that came on when I was a child. I don’t remember the name of the show but the show was about our Motherland and the contributions of Africans and African-Americans.

This is Black Power. This is beautiful. We need it in a time like this.

Humanity has been a motherless child for thousands of years. This is why we destroy ourselves and our home planet. God the Mother (AKA Shekinah, Guan Yin, Mother Mary) is in exile. Only we can bring Her back, by our thoughts, actions, prayers. Dr John Stewart

My mother of 86 years died nine days ago. The title of this song popped into my head and here I am. I relate to these words. Rest peacefully, Mom, until we are reunited in Jesus.

Motherless & fatherless for a lot of people.
