“When I Grow Up” Lyrics
I’d love to be a writer
Turn stories into books
Or maybe a dancer
turn music into moves
I’d love to be a pilot
And fly my friends across the world
I’d love to be an actor
Pretend to be somebody else
Or I could come up with medicines
Yeah I’d love to be a scientist
Maybe Chemist, maybe physicist.. or Both!
Just like Marie Curie
I’ll build bridges to bring people close
Just like an engineer does
I’ll invent new things to light the world
Just like Thomas Edison
When I grow up, When I grow up
I wanna help build a better world
When I grow up, When I grow up
I wanna help build a better world
When I grow up, When I grow up
I could be a firefighter
And help to put out all the flames
Or I could be a botanist
Improve the crops that people eat
Or come up with new recipes
Like George Washington Carver did
Or I could build cars or even planes
Just like Henry Ford did in his days
When I grow up, When I grow up
I wanna help build a better world
When I grow up, When I grow up
I wanna help build a better world
