A Man Like Me
A man like me
A man like me
A man like me
In the land of the free
A little boy asked me
Hey mister, have you ever been free
He said it sure don't look that way to me
Jim Crow still killing Negroes in these streets
A man like me
A man like me
A man like me
In the land of the free
A little girl asked me
Hey mister will I ever have equality
I said a woman can move a mountain into the sea
And without a strong woman there could never be
A land of the free
A man like me
The land of the free
A man like me
And when I come home, I'm greeted by a woman in the harbor, her name is Liberty
The Constitution ain't no illusion, it does apply to me
As long as you're sleeping, you'll never interpret Dr. King's dream
And if I ain't free, then what of those around me, in the land of the free
A man like me
In the land of the free
A man like me
In the land of the free
A man like me
A man like me
A man like me
In the land of the free
