When She Grow Up

When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am

If she were my daughter I would be so proud
Cause she is so beautiful and I know exactly why and how
She were born from you so what else she could be
I would be so happy if she were born from me

I feel so grateful and lucky cause I've found a family
Even knowing we've had fought sometimes I know this was my destiny
God wanted me to be there but now my time is over
Although I miss you all so much I must to be a worker

When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am

Cause I'll never be free if I don't work really hard
So I can't be stopped now if I want to go far
I've never asked for acceptance and I know where I came from
I have the house of my parents but it's not where I belong

I belong with you girl but I know things are hard
When I get a job I know that we'll go far
These are only dreams but one day you've told me
When we dream together the dream becomes reality

When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am

So tell Maria and tell Paulo I still love them so much
Tell them that I'm sorry if I drove them all nuts
Tell all your family that I'm still around
If they want some help in anything just make a sound

It's not because we've fought that we'll be forever lost
I know they've got angry but I already paid the cost
So now it's time to say goodbye and end this simple song
If you don't want me around I don't see anything wrong

When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am

So goodbye and goodnight someday we're gonna meet
I'm sure I'll always remember your humour and your wit

When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
When she grow up then she will understand
All the reasons why I am what I am
