American Man (From "A Conversation with America")
I will walk into the sun
For this time I will become
Someone whose entirely new
Dressed up in the red white and blue
For this time, I'm an American man
Kissing sunrise in the south
Doing my best within the drought
In the desert something new
She's growing flowers for me and you
Come on now, you're an American man
In that mirror in the dark
I see goodness in your heart
On your face a simple smile,
Do you still find life worthwhile?
I Know its hard to be an American man
You don't need no brawn or no flag
To be an American man
What is it you want or you lack
Tell me American man, tell me American man
Why are you rejecting life
What is it you fear tonight?
Is it the meaning of divides
To connect our different lives
That is why I call you American, man
That is why I call you American, man
