Don't you listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
Little girl by the drain
Motherless child
Rescue, rescue

Don't you listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
With your doll by the drain
A motherless child
Rescue, rescue

Keep an ear to the shell
Keep an ear to the shell
Stay on the path that leads to the well
There are many
Take the one that leads to the well
Rescue, rescue
Keep an ear to the shell
Ear to the shell

Motherless child
Dost thou believe
That thine afflictions have caused us to grieve?
Motherless child
Angels have closed their eyes
Thou wast thrown away and exposed

Don't you listen to the never
Keep praying for rain
Dancing for rain
No sweet for the pain
Of a motherless child
Rescue, rescue

Keep an ear to the shell
Keep an ear to the shell
Stay on the path that leads to the well
There are many
Take the one that leads to the well

Motherless child
Follow my voice
And I shall give thee great cause to rejoice
Motherless child
Be of good cheer
Mine 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

Wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful
Motherless child I am with thee
Thou was't never alone

Maybe I'm dirty
Maybe I'm unworthy
Motherless child can you hear me?
I will give you a home

Wonderful wonderful
Wonderful wonderful
Motherless child I am with thee
Thou was't 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
