Longer and stronger, that's how I live
The more I get the more I got to give
Fifty years of soul gone by, fifty more to come
You think you've seen something

Fifty years of soul gone by and fifty more to come

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
