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
a violence 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
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
