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

                         Em    C
I wrote this song for my mother
G       D                       
She had to leave me, when I was 
Em  C    G   D
younger
               Em       C         
She said son, seek this life, and 
  G      D
keep an open mind
But in my mind's eye...

(Chorus)
     C    Em
I am free now
         G               D
Free to live without my fears
   C      Em
I believe now
           G             D
There's a reason why I'm here.
                   Em C G D (strum 
chords 2 times again through 2nd 
verse)
It's to try and do good
                   Em C G D
It's to try and do better.

Who will I be for my daughter?
This little baby, she means the 
world to me
Will I relive their mistakes?
Or do things the right way
For her sake.

I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here

           C
Can I be a man?
          Em
One that understands
       G         D
How to love more patiently
        C    Em
I'll be free now
        G    D
I'll be free now.

(Play bridge with palm mute)
       Em                         
And we dream of the day, when our 
C
kids can play
        G                          
In the streets with no fear of them 
D
being taken away
        Em                   
Fathers raise their sons with 
  C
respect and love
       G                      D
Handle anger and pain with no need 
for no guns
      Em                 C
If we hope to be free it takes you 
and me
         G             D
To start over here and now
       Em                 C       
'Cause this world is, the way it 
        G                D
is, it's how we raise our kids.
                          Em  C  
(strum twice again :)
I wrote this song for my mother,
G  D                    Em   C
wrote this song for our father
G  D                     Em    C
So hopefully we can come together
G  D                              
And hopefully make things a little
Em  C   G   D
 better.

I am free now
Free to live without my fears
I believe now
There's a reason why I'm here.

Can I be a man?
One that understands
How to love more patiently
I'll be free now
