Lyrics
I will walk into the sun
I am willing to face challenges and obstacles.
For this time I will become
I will transform during this period.
Someone whose entirely new
I will become someone entirely different.
Dressed up in the red white and blue
I will be adorned in patriotic colors.
For this time, I'm an American man
During this time, I identify as an American man.
Kissing sunrise in the south
Experiencing the early morning in the southern region.
Doing my best within the drought
Doing my best in a challenging situation.
In the desert something new
In a difficult environment, something new is emerging.
She's growing flowers for me and you
Positive growth and beauty are being cultivated for everyone.
Come on now, you're an American man
Encouraging others to embrace their American identity.
In that mirror in the dark
Reflecting on oneself in the darkness.
I see goodness in your heart
Recognizing the inherent goodness within.
On your face a simple smile,
A simple smile on the face.
Do you still find life worthwhile?
Questioning the value and meaning of life.
I Know its hard to be an American man
Acknowledging the challenges of being an American man.
You don't need no brawn or no flag
Emphasizing that strength or symbols are unnecessary.
To be an American man
Being an American man is about self-definition.
What is it you want or you lack
Questioning desires and deficiencies.
Tell me American man, tell me American man
Seeking understanding from the American man.
Why are you rejecting life
Questioning the reluctance to embrace life.
What is it you fear tonight?
Identifying and confronting fears.
Is it the meaning of divides
Reflecting on the consequences of division.
To connect our different lives
Highlighting the need to connect diverse lives.
That is why I call you American, man
Affirming the identity as an American man.
That is why I call you American, man
Reiterating the identification as an American man.
