Home Of The Brave Lyrics

Home Of The Brave

 Jody 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 free

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be

 

 The kids all laugh at his hair and funny clothes.

 And more than once he's gone home with a bloody nose

 he's not like them and they can't ignore it. So they all hate him for it.

 

 Home of the brave, land of the free

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be

 

 It really burns me up, when they put him down

 He's the only one whose saying something in this whole town

 Instead of those the trouble they hand him, why don't they try to understand
him.

 

 Home of the brave, land of the free

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be

 he never hurt nobody,

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be

 he just a little bit different.

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be

 You got to understand him.

 why won't you let him be what he wants to be
