I wrote this song for my father
Sometimes I feel he never gave
a damn about me
Though he raised me like he should
Did he understand me
No no I dont think so
I wrote this song for my mother
She had to leave me
when I was younger
She said son seek this life
and keep an open mind
But in my minds eye
I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
Theres a reason why Im here
Its to try to do good
Its to try to do better
Who will I be for my daughter
This little baby
she means the world to me
Will I relive their mistakes
Or do things the right way
For her sake
I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
Theres a reason why Im here
Can I be a man
One that understands
How to love more patiently
Ill be free now
Ill be free now
And we dream of the day
when our kids can play
In the streets with no fear of
them being taken away
Fathers raise their sons with
respect and love
Handle anger and pain with no
need for no guns
If we hope to be free it takes
you and me
To start over here and now
Cause this world is
the way it is
Its how we raise our kids
I wrote this song for my mother
I wrote this song for our father
So hopefully we can come together
And hopefully
make things a little better
I am free now
Free to live without
my fears I believe now
Theres a reason why Im here
Can I be a man
One that understands
How to love more patiently
Ill be free now
Ill be free now
Ill be free now
I am free now
