      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, 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, and then is 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, 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
