[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
