Wavin' Flag

When I get older I will be stronger They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' 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 strugglin' Fighting to eat And we wonderin' If we'll be free We cannot 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 wavin' flag And then it goes back And then it goes back And then it goes back Whoa-oh-oh 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're not just dreamers Of broken down grievers Our hand will reach us And we will not see ya 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 vies 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 wavin' flag And then it goes back And then it goes back And then it goes back Whoa-oh-oh When I get older I will be stronger They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' flag And then it goes back (uh) And then it goes back (well, alright) And then it goes back Whoa-oh-oh 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 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 the flag rise again 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 Then it goes back 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 Whoa-oh-oh 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 Whoa-oh-oh When I get older When I get older I will be stronger Just like a wavin' flag
