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 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, and then is 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
|
