Wavin' Flag Lyrics

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. Born 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 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', Fightin' to eat. And we wonderin' 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. So many wars. Settlin' 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', Fightin' to eat. And we wonderin' 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. 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. 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.
