I woke up one day in Kansas City Alive and awake as I could be back then Saw a little boy being carried real pretty Away by his mom or his dad I don’t know who what it was I don’t know what it was to be loved by a man Oh I don’t I don’t know what it was to be loved by a man I woke up one night in Louisiana White men with their flags of slavery and hate The black men came ‘round and were slaughtered like no other In hatred and purity’s call for a clean memory Oh we don’t know what it is to be loved by a man Oh we don’t know what it is to be loved by a man So I’m waiting Oh I am waiting for a place just to call my home One day I’ll go there but until then I know I’ll be walking on a broken road One day I woke up in my own country Traveling on the highways and tolls Were too much to pay but I got there somehow And then I found a broken road again Oh we don’t know what it is to be loved by a man Oh we don’t know what it is to be loved by a man So I’m waiting Oh I am waiting for a place just to call my home One day I’ll go there but until then I know I’ll be walking on a broken road [daddada] Injustice around every corner in this city Where mean eat and men feast While others cry for a home I don’t know what’s wrong But we keep turning blindly To the needs and the wants of our brothers in love And I don’t know what it is To be loved by a man Oh I don’t know what it is to be loooovvvved So I’m waiting oh I am waiting For a place just to call my home One day I’ll go there but until then I know I’ll be walking on a broken road One day I’ll go there but until then I know I’ll be walking on a broken road
