When I get older I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just Iike a Wavin' Flag
When I get older I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just Ilke a Wavin' Flag
And then it goes back, 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're struggling, fighting to eat And we're 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 Iike a Wavin' Flag
And then it goes back, 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're struggling, fighting to eat And we're 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 Iike 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 Iike 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 Iike 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 Iike 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
