I’m A Man

I’m a man and I just want to live like one
Why must I fight for what I’ve won
I’m weary and it’s more than I can stand
I’m a man.
I wanna hold my head up high
I’m flesh and blood and I got pride
can’t they see it?
Will they ever understand I’m a man
How do I hide the tears in eyes
when I go to tell my son
the things he’s heard are no more than lies
he’s as good as anyone
I’m a man.
And soon the day is gonna come
When I’ll be free to live like one
Then I’ll stand tall and be seen for what I am
I’m a man
I’m a man
I’m a man.
