Wavin' Flag |
| 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, 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 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, 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 |
