When I get older, I will be stronger-They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag-When I get older, I will be stronger-They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving 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-But out of the darkness, I came the farthest-Among the hardest survival-Learn from these streets, it can be bleak-Except 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, so for now we say-When I get older, I will be stronger-They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag-And then it goes back, and then it goes back-And then it goes back-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 Waving Flag-And then it goes back, and then it goes back-And then it goes back-When I get older, I will be stronger-They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag-And then it goes back, and then it goes back-And then it goes back-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 Waving Flag-And then it goes back, and then it goes back-And then it goes back-When I get older, I will be stronger-They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving 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 Waving Flag-Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag-Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag.
