Porquê?

... são precisas razões?!

Então vai uma:

Paul Robeson

e porque... como ele canta

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

Oh! my brother

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

Oh! my sister

A long ways from home

A long ways from home

A long ways from home
