Day after day, you know that i

Longer and stronger, that's how i live
The more i get, the more i got to give
Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come

I've seen my hard times, oh, yes, i've been busted
Trusted people who never have been trusted

But, lord, i've just begun

Ooh, longer and stronger, that's how i feel, oh
The more i get, the more i got to give
Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come
You think you've seen something

I've just begun, oh, longer and stronger
Oh, that's how i live, longer and stronger, oh, oh, yeah
Longer and stronger, longer and stronger, yeah
