Lyrics
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flagWhen 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, ohBorn 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 roamOut of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival Learn from these streets, it can be bleak Accept no defeat, surrender, retreatSo 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 sayWhen 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, ohSo 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 sayBut 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 SoldiersBut 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 sayWhen 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 goesWhen 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 goesAnd then it goes
And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it And we all will be singing itOh, oh, 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 goesWhen 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, ohWhen 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
