A Free Man? Songtext
von Orrin Evans

Free
A word I′ve longed to speak
Finally the chains removed from about my feet
I leap for joy that I can be totally and
Completely free
After some time though my joy soon fades
Now enters the serious faze
What must I do?
How do I start?
These questions lay
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 away from me
Now somehow I must fit in this society
Starting in this land is a game


Never knew anything about beeing a slave
Now that I′m free
I must become a man
I dont know where to start
Don't know if I can
For every step I take I'm dragged back too
If I had a father maybe he would know what to do
He was soldier, 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
