Free
A word I've longed to speak
Finally the chains removed from about my feet
I leap for joy that now I can be totally and completely free
After some time though my joy soon fades
Now enters the serious phase
What must I do?
How do I start?
These questions lie heavy on my heart
As I go throughout the day I continue to bow
I want to stand up straight but I don't know how
The things my ancestors did are far removed from me
Now somehow I must fit into this society
Started in this land as a babe
Never knew anything about being a slave
Now that I'm free I must become a man?
I don't know where to start
Don't know if I can
For every step I take I'm dragged back to
If I had a father maybe he'd know what to do
He was sold you know
When I was only two
I don't know where or to who
But I'm a free man
Oh what a beautiful phrase
What a beautiful phrase
Free man
But a very difficult thing
After being a slave
