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 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

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 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

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

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 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
