[Verse 1]
[Em]I[C][G][D][Em][C][G][D]
wrote this song for my [Em]father[C]
[G]Sometimes I feel he [D]never gave
[Em]A damn [C]about [G]me[D]
[G]Though he [C]raised me like he should
[G]Did he [D]understand me? No,[C]
no, I don't think [G]so.[D]

[Verse 2]
I wrote this song for my [Em]mother[C]
[G]She had[D] to leave me,
when I [Em]was y[C]ounger[G][D]
She said son,
[Em]seek [C]this life [G]and [D]keep an open [Em]mind[C]

[Verse 3]
But in my [G]mind's [D]eye

[Verse 4]
I am [C]free [Em]now
Free to [G]live without [D]my fears
I be[C]lieve [Em]now
There's a [G]reason why I'm [D]here
It's to try [Em]to do [C]good[G]
[D]It's to try to do better[Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
Who will I be for my [Em]daugh[C]ter?
[G]This lit[D]tle baby,
she means [Em]the world [C]to [G]me[D]
Will I re[Em]live [C]their mistakes?
[G]Or do [D]things the rig[Em]ht way[C]?
For her [G]sake![D]

[Verse 6]
I am [C]free [Em]now
Free to [G]live without my [D]fears
I be[C]lieve [Em]now
There's a [G]reason [D]why I'm here

[Verse 7]
Can I [C]be a man?
One that un[Em]derstands
How to [G]love more [D]patiently
I'll [C]be free [Em]now
I'll [G]be free [D]now.

[Verse 8]
And [G]we dream of the day,
when our kid[C]s can play
In [D]the streets with no fear of
them being taken away
Fathers [G]raise their sons with
[C]respect and love
Handle an[D]ger and pain
with no need for no guns
If we [G]hope to be free it
takes [C]you and me
To start [D]over here and now
'Cause [G]this world is, the [C]way it is,
it's [D]how we raise our kids.

[Verse 9]
[D]I wrote this song for my m[Em]other,[C]
[G]wro[D]te this song for our fat[Em]her[C][G]
So [D]hopefully we can come to[Em]gether[C]
[G]And hop[D]efully make things
[Em]a little better[C].[G][D]

[Verse 10]
I [C]am free [Em]now
Free to [G]live without my [D]fears
I be[C]lieve [Em]now
There's a [G]reason [D]why I'm here.

[Verse 11]
Can I [C]be a man?
One that un[Em]derstands
How [G]to love more [D]patiently
I'll [C]be free [Em]now
I'll [G]be free [D]now
I'll [C]be free [Em]now
I'll [G]be free now.
