| When I get older I will be stronger
|
| They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
|
| 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
|
| Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
|
| A 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
|
| So we struggling, fighting to eat
|
| And we wondering when we'll be free
|
| So we patiently wait for that fateful day
|
| It's not far away, but for now we say
|
| 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
|
| So many wars, settling scores
|
| Bringing us promises, leaving 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
|
| But we struggling, fighting to eat
|
| And we wondering, when we'll be free
|
| So we patiently wait for that faithful day
|
| It's not far away but for now we say
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| And then it goes
|
| And everybody will be singing it
|
| And you and I will be singing it
|
| And we all will be singing it
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
