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 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
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
Oh, oh, 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
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
