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 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
So many wars
Settlin' 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
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
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
