Home Of The Brave
The school board says, "He can't come to school, no more
Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before"
The PTA and all of the mothers
Say, "He oughta look like the others"
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
The kids all laugh at his hair and his funny clothes
And more than once, he's gone home with a bloody nose
He's not like them, and they can't ignore it
So they all hate him for it
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
It really burns me up when they put him down
He's the only one who's sayin' somethin' in this whole town
Instead of all the trouble they hand him
Why don't they try to understand him?
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
He never hurt nobody
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
He's just a little bit different
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
Unless he wears his hair like he wore it before"
The PTA and all of the mothers
Say, "He oughta look like the others"
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
The kids all laugh at his hair and his funny clothes
And more than once, he's gone home with a bloody nose
He's not like them, and they can't ignore it
So they all hate him for it
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
It really burns me up when they put him down
He's the only one who's sayin' somethin' in this whole town
Instead of all the trouble they hand him
Why don't they try to understand him?
Home of the brave
Land of the the free
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
He never hurt nobody
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
He's just a little bit different
Why won't you let him be what he wants to be?
