[Verse 1]
Don't you
Listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
Little girl by the drain
Motherless child
Rescue, Rescue

[Verse 2]
Don't you
Listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
With your doll by the drain
Motherless child
Rescue, Rescue

[Bridge]
Keep your ear to the shell
Keep your ear to the shell
Stay on the path
That'll lead to the well
When I'm ready
Take the one that leads to the well
Rescue Rescue
Keep your ear to the shell
Ear to the shell

[Chorus 1]
Motherless Child
Dost thou Believe
That thine afflictions have caused us to grieve
Motherless Child
Angels Disclosed
Their eyes now are snowy and exposed

[Verse 3]
Don't you
Listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
No Sweep for the pain
Of a motherless child
Rescue, Rescue

[Bridge 2]
Keep your ear to the shell
Keep your ear to the shell
Stay on the path
That'll lead to the well
When I'm ready
Take the one that leads to the well

[Chorus 2]
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 Name

[Post-Chorus X2]
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
I Will Give You a Home

You Were Never Alone
