Lyrics Free to Be a Man - Archie Roach

Walked down the street one day
Saw my brother on his way
Looking sad and sitting on he
Telling me he said
And he said

Brother i don't understand
What's happening to the courier man
Took the weapon from my hand
It was much more
So much more

That hey i wanna be
Hey i wanna be free
Free to be a man

My sister's friend and lover
They all understand a brother
Even when it doesn't bother
I understand he said, now

Still she takes him by the hand
She recognized a fallen man
Then he knows that he can
Give a little help
Just a little help

I wanna be
Hey i wanna be free
Free free to be a man
Hey i wanna be
Hey i wanna be free
Free free to be a man

If you think that life's not good
Give back to your brotherhood
Give back to your manhood
If you think you can

When you head back to your spirit
Back to your land
I've seen your hand in your hand
After building a man
When you head back to your spirit
Back to your land
I've seen your hand in your hand
After building a man

Yeah i wanna be free
I wanna be free free
To be a man
Yeah i wanna be free
I wanna be free free
To be a man

Yeah i wanna be free
I wanna be free free
To be a man
Yeah i wanna be free
I wanna be free free
To be a man
