Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Came through snow and drivin' rain
I came free and I came chained
I watch ships pull up on the shore
Worked and played, lived and died
Valleys deep and mountains high
Don't say you don't need me anymore
[Verse 2]
'Cause I ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it, and I don't have to leave it
I ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
[Verse 3]
Soldier said let's serve and slave
All the blood and sweat I gave
I sang songs at home I left behind
My head's been beaten, my soul's been spent
My taxes taken, my back's been bent
And no one ever paid me any mind
[Verse 4]
And I ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it, and I don't have to leave it
I ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
Ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 5]
Been written out of every book
Children slandered, robbed, and took
But I always found another way
Burn in the factory, fall in the streets
Hung from the bridges and died to speak
I brought you everything you have today
[Verse 6]
And I ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it, and I don't have to leave it
I ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
I ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
[Verse 7]
I'm your brother, I've been beaten and mistreated
I'm your daughter, I've been lied to, I've been cheated
I'm the one they call now, when everything's in pieces
The forgotten child that you thought you never needed
[Verse 8]
I ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause I'm right where I belong
I don't have to love it, and I don't have to leave it
I ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
Ain't no stranger here, I'm your native son
