Number One - Portugal The Man

Album: Woodstock

genre: Alternative Rock Indie Rock Psychedelic Rock

Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from my home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone

When the morning came
Like another’s pain
But didn’t know to fade
Like the sound it made
Let’s go down the drain
With the falling rain
Wash away the stains
In the evening shade

It’s that sufferin’
Don’t know why it brings
Such sweet memories
Will be the enemy

But you’ll come out all right
(Yeah) I know it seems there’s no end in sight
(Yeah) But it doesn’t mean you can’t put up a fight
But you don’t know how
But you don’t know how
No no no no
No no no no
No no no no

Oh the trails we blazed
Have long since been paved
Leavin’ the modern age
On down memory lane
Can’t turn the page
Like it’s just a phase
Somehow still be amazed
That the leaves had changed

It’s that sufferin’
Don’t know why it brings
Such sweet memories
Will be the enemy

But you’ll come out all right
(Yeah) I know it seems there’s no end in sight
(Yeah) But it doesn’t mean you can’t put up a fight
But you don’t know how
But you don’t know how

But you’ll come out all right
(Yeah) I know it seems there’s no end in sight
(Yeah) But it doesn’t mean you can’t put up a fight
But you don’t know how
But you don’t know how

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
When I need my brother
(yeah) father
(yeah) sister
(yeah) mother
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It’s gonna be all right
Telling white lies
Late nights
To sunrise
Cause when we rise up
We rise up above
All of the chaos
To get lost
Don’t make me don’t make me wake up
Cause I’m gonna be like a drug
That never gets old or gives hope
But baby you make me feel loved
