[ chorus ]
C F
when i get older , i will be stronger ,
C G
they’ll call me freedom , just like a wavin’ flag
C F
and then it goes back , and then it goes back ,
C G
and then it goes back oh oh oh

C F
born to a throne , stronger than rome
C G
a violent prone , poor people zone ,
C F
but it’s my home , all i have known ,
C G
where i got grown , streets we would roam .
C F
but out of the darkness , i came the farthest ,
C G
among the hardest survival .
C F
learn from these streets , it can be bleak ,
C G
except 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 , so for now we say

[ chorus ]

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 ,

[ chorus ] 2

x ( ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh )
and everybody will be singing it
( ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh )
and you and i will be singing it
( ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh )
and we all will be singing it
( ohhh ohh ohh ohh )

[ chorus ] 2

xwhen i get older , when i get older
i will be stronger , just like a waving flag ,
just like a waving flag , just like a waving flag
flag , flag , just like a waving flag
