[00:22.52] I was born black and free
[00:25.21] I was born in the cold
[00:27.83] Cold was home to me
[00:30.90] Until I was told
[00:33.52] I was really from the South
[00:36.27] So I travelled closer to the sun
[00:39.65] But you see
[00:40.65] Flesh burning beat
[00:42.21] Got me crossing the sea
[00:44.33] Back to the cold again
[00:47.65] So here I am
[00:50.52] Here I am
[00:51.65] I'm a stranger
[00:53.90] Anywhere I run to
[00:58.21] Yes I am
[00:59.52] A stranger
[01:00.02] And I just can't seem to
[01:01.96] Find a race I could claim
[01:04.96] The roots to my name
[01:07.08] But who I am
[01:08.96] Is a man of this world
[01:14.65]
[01:24.21] This is my second shot
[01:26.83] Winter's smiling at me
[01:30.65] I'm taking this shot
[01:32.59] To be all I can be
[01:35.09] So the next place I stop
[01:36.33] Will be the land of the free
[01:40.71] A place where a million of colors and dreams dwell
[01:44.96] Sounds like a place to me,
[01:47.84] where someone might understand
[01:50.03] Just who I am, who I am
[01:53.09] I'm a stranger
[01:55.34] Anywhere I run to
[01:57.78] Yes I am
[01:59.77] A stranger
[02:00.40] And I just can't seem to
[02:03.21] Find a race I could claim
[02:06.34] The roots to my name
[02:09.02] But who I am
[02:10.60] Is a man of this world
[02:12.79]
[02:13.48] Now there's this fuss about color
[02:18.48] And everybody needs to belong
[02:23.04]
[02:24.23] But take a minute to consider my perspective
[02:28.54] You see, black kicked me out once
[02:31.73] And white took me in
[02:34.42] But white looked at me once
[02:36.85] And nearly spat at my skin
[02:39.42] I'm so confused, I'm so confused
[02:44.11] About who I should hate
[02:46.92] I figure I'll just love them all
[02:49.42] I'm a stranger
[02:53.98] Anywhere I run to
[02:56.42] Yes I am
[02:58.73] A stranger
[02:59.48] And I just can't seem to
[03:01.98] Find a race I could claim
[03:05.04] The roots to my name
[03:07.73] But who I am
[03:10.54] Is a man of this world
[03:12.67] I'm a stranger
[03:13.61] Anywhere I run to
[03:16.17] Yes I am
[03:17.92] A stranger
[03:19.05] And I just can't seem to
[03:21.67] Find a race I could claim
[03:24.87] The roots to my name
[03:26.77] But who I am
[03:28.76] Is a man of this world
[03:30.83] I'm a stranger
[03:33.20] Anywhere I run to
[03:35.58] Yes I am
[03:37.02] A stranger
[03:38.58] And I just can't seem to
[03:41.08] Find a race I could claim
[03:44.02] The roots to my name
[03:46.08] But who I am
[03:48.33] Is a man of this world
