| When I get older
|
| I will be stronger
|
| They’ll call me freedom
|
| Just like a wavin flag
|
| Born from a throne
|
| Older than Rome
|
| But violent prone
|
| Poor people zone
|
| But it’s my home
|
| All I have known
|
| Where I got grown
|
| But now it’s gone
|
| Out of the darkness
|
| In came the carnage
|
| Threatening my very survival
|
| Fractured my streets
|
| And broke all my dreams
|
| Feels like defeat to wretched retreat
|
| So we strugglin'
|
| Fighting to eat
|
| And we wonderin'
|
| If we’ll be free
|
| We cannot wait for some faithful day
|
| It’s too far away so right I’ll say
|
| When I get older
|
| I will be stronger
|
| They’ll call me freedom
|
| Just like a waving flag
|
| (And then it goes back x3)
|
| Ahhho ahhho ahhho
|
| So many wars settling scores
|
| All that we’ve been through
|
| And now there is more
|
| I hear them say love is the way
|
| Love is the answer that’s what they say
|
| But were not just dreamers
|
| Of broken down grievers
|
| Our hand will reach us And we will not see ya This can’t control us No it can’t hold us down
|
| We gon pick it up even though we still struggling
|
| Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival) |
| And we wondering
|
| Battant pour nos vie (Fighting for our lives)
|
| We patiently wait
|
| For some other day
|
| That’s too far away so right now we say
|
| Uhh — well alright
|
| How come when the media stops covering
|
| And there’s a little help from the government
|
| We forget about the people still struggling
|
| And assume that it’s really all love again nahh
|
| See we don’t have to wait for things to break apart
|
| If you weren’t involved before it’s never too late to start
|
| You probably think that it’s too far to even have to care
|
| Well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?
|
| You have to know the urge to make a change lies within
|
| And we can be the reason that we see the flag rise again
|
| 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
|
| Then it goes back
|
| When I get older
|
| When I get older
|
| I will be stronger
|
| Just like a waving flag. |
