to what do i belong and if i change will i be wrong
i took my foot and kicked
a hole in the sky
i proceeded to plead
fathers help me decide
a jagged flash of light struck me in the eye
i turned around and found that i was still alive
snakes rise high from the purple black sky
the red cloud rains and the black horse rides
then it dawned on my like the mornin sun
i'm a part of two worlds and the mornin comes
glowing embers tend to remember when
the power that is peace was treated as a friend
i am a master of and i've got to take action
i'm a man
the animal man
