Twenty One

Twenty-one and strong as I can be
I know what freedom means to me
And I can’t give the reason why
I should ever want to die
Got no cause to be afraid
Or fear that life will ever fade
Because as I watch the rising sun
I know that we have just begun
I might spend my life upon the road
Just trying to add to what I know
Then someday I might settle down
And all my friends will be around
They say a man should have a stock and trade
But me, I’ll find another way
I believe in getting what you can
And there ain’t no stopping this young man
Because I’m young and fast as I can be
I know what freedom means to me
And I can’t give the reason why
I should ever want to die
No I can’t give the reason why
I should ever want to die
