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
Born  to  a  throne
Stronger  than  Rome
But  violent  prone
Poor  people  zone
But  its  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
Learned  from  these  streets
They  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
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
But  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  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
And  then  it  goes
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
And  then  it  goes
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
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
