[00:22.523]I was born black and free
[00:25.210]I was born in the cold
[00:27.833]Cold was home to me
[00:30.898]Until I was told
[00:33.520]I was really from the South
[00:36.273]So I travelled closer to the sun
[00:39.648]But you see
[00:40.646]Flesh burning beat
[00:42.211]Got me crossing the sea
[00:44.335]Back to the cold again
[00:47.646]So here I am
[00:50.524]Here I am
[00:51.648]I'm a stranger
[00:53.896]Anywhere I run to
[00:58.211]Yes I am
[00:59.523]A stranger
[01:00.021]And I just can't seem to
[01:01.961]Find a race I could claim
[01:04.961]The roots to my name
[01:07.084]But who I am
[01:08.959]Is a man of this world
[01:24.210]This is my second shot
[01:26.835]Winter's smiling at me
[01:30.649]I'm taking this shot
[01:32.587]To be all I can be
[01:35.087]So the next place I stop
[01:36.335]Will be the land of the free
[01:40.712]A place where a million of colors and dreams dwell
[01:44.960]Sounds like a place to me
[01:47.839]Where someone might understand
[01:50.028]Just who I am who I am
[01:53.086]I'm a stranger
[01:55.337]Anywhere I run to
[01:57.775]Yes I am
[01:59.773]A stranger
[02:00.400]And I just can't seem to
[02:03.213]Find a race I could claim
[02:06.338]The roots to my name
[02:09.024]But who I am
[02:10.604]Is a man of this world
[02:13.481]Now there's this fuss about color
[02:18.479]And everybody needs to belong
[02:24.232]But take a minute to consider my perspective
[02:28.542]You see black kicked me out once
[02:31.730]And white took me in
[02:34.418]But white looked at me once
[02:36.855]And nearly spat at my skin
[02:39.420]I'm so confused I'm so confused
[02:44.107]About who I should hate
[02:46.920]I figure I'll just love them all
[02:49.420]I'm a stranger
[02:53.983]Anywhere I run to
[02:56.418]Yes I am
[02:58.733]A stranger
[02:59.481]And I just can't seem to
[03:01.981]Find a race I could claim
[03:05.044]The roots to my name
[03:07.733]But who I am
[03:10.544]Is a man of this world
[03:12.669]I'm a stranger
[03:13.606]Anywhere I run to
[03:16.171]Yes I am
[03:17.919]A stranger
[03:19.047]And I just can't seem to
[03:21.669]Find a race I could claim
[03:24.872]The roots to my name
[03:26.769]But who I am
[03:28.765]Is a man of this world
[03:30.829]I'm a stranger
[03:33.202]Anywhere I run to
[03:35.576]Yes I am
[03:37.021]A stranger
[03:38.579]And I just can't seem to
[03:41.076]Find a race I could claim
[03:44.021]The roots to my name
[03:46.076]But who I am
[03:48.332]Is a man of this world
