[Intro]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh
[Verse 1]
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
But violent-prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest, survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat
[PreChorus]
So we strugglin', fightin' to eat
And we wonderin' when we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
It's not far away, but for now we say
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh
[Verse 2]
So many wars, settlin' scores
Bringing us promises, leavin' us poor
I heard them say love is the way
Love is the answer that's what they say
But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers
[PreChorus]
But we strugglin', fightin' to eat
And we wonderin' when we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
It's not far away, but for now we say
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes
[Bridge]
And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes
[Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back, oh
[Outro]
When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a wavin' flag
Just like a wavin' flag
Just like a wavin' flag, flag, flag
Just like a wavin' flag
