My ancestors were kings of old
|
They ruled the world and all of its gold
|
But look at me, oh, look at me
|
Just look at me
|
|
My ancestors would find the sun
|
Before they bowed down to anyone
|
But you gonna look at me
|
Woh, look at me
|
Just look at me
|
|
Yeah, woh, look at me
|
I'm a stranger in this land
|
Watch me stand tall
|
Help me, help me be just a man, oh
|
|
My ancestors, they were mighty men
|
And my son, he will be one of them
|
And they'll just look at him
|
Yeah, they'll look at him
|
And they'll say, he's a man, he's a man
|
My son's a man, oh
|
|
My ancestors, they passed it on to me
|
I've got to, got to work
|
And pass it on to my son
|
And he will be a man, oh yeah
|
And pass it on to his son
|
And he will be a man, oh yes he will
|
