A Man of This World |
I was born black and free |
I was born in the cold |
Cold was home to me |
Until I was told |
I was really from the South |
So I traveled closer to the sun |
But you see |
Flesh burning beat |
Got me crossing the sea |
Back to the cold again |
So here I am |
Here I am |
I’m a stranger |
Anywhere I run to |
Yes I am |
A stranger |
And I just can’t seem to |
Find a race I could claim |
The roots to my name |
But who I am |
Is a man of this world |
This is my second shot |
Winter’s smiling at me |
I’m taking this shot |
To be all I can be |
So the next place I stop |
Will be the land of the free |
A place where a million of colors and dreams dwell |
Sounds like a place to me, where someone might understand |
Just who I am, who I am |
I’m a stranger |
Anywhere I run to |
Yes I am |
A stranger |
And I just can’t seem to |
Find a race I could claim |
The roots to my name |
But who I am |
Is a man of this world |
Now there’s this fuss about color |
And everybody needs to belong |
But take a minute to consider my perspective |
You see, black kicked me out once |
And white took me in |
But white looked at me once |
And nearly spat at my skin |
I’m so confused, I’m so confused |
About who I should hate |
I figure I’ll just love them all |
I’m a stranger |
Anywhere I run to |
Yes I am |
A stranger |
And I just can’t seem to |
Find a race I could claim |
The roots to my name |
But who I am |
Is a man of this world |
I’m a stranger |
Anywhere I run to |
Yes I am |
A stranger |
And I just can’t seem to |
Find a race I could claim |
The roots to my name |
But who I am |
Is a man of this world |
I’m a stranger |
Anywhere I run to |
Yes I am |
A stranger |
And I just can’t seem to |
Find a race I could claim |
The roots to my name |
But who I am |
Is a man of this world |
