Lyrics
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child so far way from home. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child far away from home. Sometimes Lord you know I feel as if I shouldn't be born. Sometimes I feel so far from you Lord. This world is so dark and so cold. This world is so dark and so cold: so far from Home. Oh Lord you know how inside my soul burns for Home, for Home. Adaptation and improvision of lyrics to negro spiritual: "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" On Piano: Susanne Nowakowski Vocals: Anson Phillip

I love this, it gave me goosebumps, bursting with emotion. Great piano and vocals. I love gospel which begins with a sad note.

Great song from 2 very talented people! Passionate, emotional, powerful. The piano playing and the vocal are coupled together magnificently. It's a powerful piece that deserves multiple plays to really appreciate in it's entirety. I'll be sure to take my own advice. :)

Very nice song with spiritual meditation about that sadness. This world really makes a lot of people far away from home - God. We must believe in God and try live with Him! That is cure.

Anson, and Susanne, this is beautiful, the sound of the piano so acoustic just takes me away, but what impresses me the most is Anson's vocal, it is so bluesy and has a female quality to it, in fact at the beginning, I thought it was a female singing those touching lyrics. Congrats to both of you, a great collab.
