[Verse 1]

This is where I broke my wrist, where I thought I could fly

Thinking I was Superman, so you know you can't cry

Because I wanted to be just like them and save my city from crime

I wanted to be just like them, just like them, just like them

Campbell's chicken noodle soup when you stay home from school

Remember watching MTV when there was still music for you

Just a kid on Cholla Street from my city built in the sand

My father said, "You'll be a man, be a man, be a man"

[Chorus]

I was born in 1994

I was born in 1994

And I was, I was born in 1994

[Verse 2]

I guess Santa Claus is just not real and Batman can't fly

And nobody's invincible because I know people die

I saw it on the news one day when the towers fell down

September's not the same place now, same place now, same place now

Now tell me what you wanna be because you grow up too fast

I'll cut my hair and sag my jeans and never show up to class

Get ready 'cause it's time to leave, so pack up your bags

And go be who you wanna be, wanna be, wanna be

[Chorus]

I was born in 1994

I was born in 1994

And I was, I was born in 1994

[Bridge]

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty

My country 'tis of thee, be who you wanna be

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty

My country, my country, my country, my

[Chorus]

I was born in 1994

I was born in 1994

And I was, I was born in 1994
