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
