When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
Born from a throne, older than Rome But violent prone, poor people's 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 Now feels like defeat, a wretched retreat
So we're struggling, fighting to leave And we're wondering, if we'll be free
We cannot wait, for some fateful day It's too far away, so right now I 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 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 we are not just dreamers A broken down creation
We are not just dreamers Our hand will reach us
And we will see her
This can't control us No, it can't hold us down
And we won't pick it up, even though we still Struggle it
On de la survie And we wonder it
Pas tant pour nos vies We'll patiently wait, for some other day
It's too far away, so right now I say When I get older
I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just like a waving flag
Freedom, just like the 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 the waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back
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 of them again, nah
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 they see their flag rise again
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like the 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 the 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 the 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
