Wavin' Flag

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 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 to wretched retreat

So we struggling fighting to eat

And we wondering if we'll be free

We can not wait for some faithful day

It's too far away so right now 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 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 were not just dreamers of broken down grievers

A hand will reach us and will not forsake us

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

And we wondering battant pour nos vie

We patiently wait for some other day

That'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

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

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 its really all love 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 a 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 a 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 a 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
