lyrics

ooo, i want to sing
as loud as i can
what will future bring?
let‘s beat the odds and find out, my friend

i‘m so proud of my life
i‘m bursting with joy
man, give me a high five
show the world why you were born a boy

together, however, my brother, we gotta take cover
whenever a brother needs another brother to make him get it right:
never, never, never, no, no, never, never, never, no, no
never give up reaching for the light

let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend, let’s worship and greet this life
why would i regret
what i can‘t affect?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate

dude, don’t let that thing
that very pretty sexy special thing
become another thing
to bring down your inner king

she ain’t gonna drag you down
if you stand firm and keep your faith, my friend
if she don‘t like her wedding gown
be washed away those letters in the sand

together, however, my brother from another mother,
we’ll help each other when it’s time to put an end to this fight
never, never, never, no, no, never, never, never, no, no
never give up reaching for the light

let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend, let’s fearlessly greet this life
why would i regret
what i must accept?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate

let’s celebrate this life
let’s levitate high
fly high in the sky
my friend let’s worship and greet this life
why would i regret
what i can’t affect?
brother, let’s masc up and liberate
