Wanted To Be

(E ala e, hū e, 'onipa'a e)

It's been some time since I really took a step back

Visualizing everything

Just tryna stay on track but I'm

Just grateful for this journey that I've been trotting on

When life knocks you down me just remember that it goes on and on

So let's take it back to the days of our youth

Studying in school just tryna make it through

Singing just to find the truth saying

One day I will grow up to be

The person that I wanted to be

Thinking about the day when I can finally be free

That's the day I will be everything that I wanted to be

Said I wanted to be

Said I wanted to be

When I was a young child all I wanted was to grow up

Imagining all the things that I could do when I finally glow up

Catching the bad guys, fighting the fires

Fly up in the sky till I can't get any higher

Now that I'm here I finally see

There's no one I'd rather be but me

Let's take it back to the days of our youth

Studying in school just tryna make it through

Just to find the truth saying

One day I will grow up to be

The person that I wanted to be

Thinking about the day when I can finally be free

That's the day I'll be everything that I wanted to be

Said I wanted to be

Said I wanted to be

It was just a misty morning on a cloudy day

Last chance to change ain't gonna throw my life away

Gotta make my family proud even those who passed away

And there's still some things I've got to say

Thank you for the memories that we shared together

Thank you for the happiest moments of my life

Thank you for jah blessings and the pride that we loa'a

Mahalo ke akua maluna

One day I will grow up to be

The person that I wanted to be

Thinking about the day when I can finally be free

That's the day I'll be everything that I wanted to be

Said I wanted to be (E ala e, hū e, 'onipa'a e)

Said I wanted to be (E ala e, hū e, 'onipa'a e)

Said I wanted to be
