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
  'Cause as I watch the rising sun
  I know that we have just begun
    I might spend my life upon the road
  Just tryin' 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 stoppin' this young man
    Because I'm you 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
