Home Of The Brave

Jody Miller

Home Of The BraveJody Miller(B. Mann-C. Weil)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 the mothers, say he ought to look like the others. Home of the brave, land of the freewhy won't you let him be what he wants to beThe kids all laugh at his hair and funny clothes.And more than once he's gone home with a bloody nosehe's not like them and they can't ignore it. So they all hate him for it.Home of the brave, land of the freewhy won't you let him be what he wants to beIt really burns me up, when they put him downHe's the only one whose saying something in this whole townInstead of those the trouble they hand him, why don't they try to understand him.Home of the brave, land of the freewhy won't you let him be what he wants to behe never hurt nobody,why won't you let him be what he wants to behe just a little bit different.why won't you let him be what he wants to beYou got to understand him.why won't you let him be what he wants to beTranscribed by Robert SmithThese lyrics were transcribed from the specific recordingand are for personal use and research interest only.
