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 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 strugglin', 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 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 strugglin', 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 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 oh oh
When I get older,whenI 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
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 oh
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have known

Just like a wavin' flag, just like a wavin' flag
Flag, flag, just like a wavin' flag
