Wavin' Flag

[00:00.58] When I get older
[00:08.65] I will be stronger
[00:10.43] They'll call me freedom
[00:12.54] Just like a wavin' flag
[00:14.08] Born from a throne
[00:15.75] Older than Rome
[00:17.65] But violent prone
[00:19.18] Poor people zone
[00:21.13] But it's my home
[00:23.02] All I have known
[00:24.52] Where I got grown
[00:26.64] But now it's gone
[00:27.97] Out of the darkness
[00:29.62] In came the carnage
[00:31.43] Threatening my very survival
[00:35.04] Fractured my streets
[00:36.72] And broke all my dreams
[00:38.47] Now feels like defeat to wretched retreat
[00:41.83] So we strugglin'
[00:43.74] Fighting to eat
[00:45.64] And we wonderin'
[00:47.59] If we'll be free
[00:49.36] We cannot wait for some faithful day
[00:52.69] It's too far away so right now I'll say
[00:56.24] When I get older
[00:58.49] I will be stronger
[01:00.08] They'll call me freedom
[01:01.79] Just like a wavin' flag
[01:04.28] And then it goes back
[01:06.00] And then it goes back
[01:07.83] And then it goes back
[01:09.27] Whoa-oh-oh
[01:10.67] So many wars settling scores
[01:13.77] All that we've been through
[01:15.92] And now there is more
[01:17.24] I hear them say love is the way
[01:21.13] Love is the answer that's what they say
[01:24.28] But we're not just dreamers
[01:26.52] Of broken down grievers
[01:28.25] Our hand will reach us
[01:30.19] And we will not see ya
[01:32.23] This can't control us
[01:33.29] No, it can't hold us down
[01:36.15] We gon' pick it up even though we still struggling
[01:38.86] Au nom de la survie
[01:42.11] And we wondering
[01:43.99] Battant pour nos vies
[01:45.67] We patiently wait
[01:47.50] For some other day
[01:49.41] That's too far away so right now I say
[01:53.61] When I get older
[01:55.12] I will be stronger
[01:57.09] They'll call me freedom
[01:58.97] Just like a wavin' flag
[02:01.03] And then it goes back
[02:02.84] And then it goes back
[02:04.75] And then it goes back
[02:06.50] Whoa-oh-oh
[02:07.22] When I get older
[02:09.34] I will be stronger
[02:11.11] They'll call me freedom
[02:12.94] Just like a wavin' flag
[02:15.33] And then it goes back (uh)
[02:17.48] And then it goes back (well, alright)
[02:19.11] And then it goes back
[02:20.73] Whoa-oh-oh
[02:21.53] How come when the media stops covering
[02:23.43] And there's a little help from the government
[02:25.11] We forget about the people still struggling
[02:26.75] And assume that it's really all love again, nah
[02:29.29] See we don't have to wait for things to break apart
[02:32.21] If you weren't involved before it's never too late to start
[02:35.89] You probably think that it's too far to even have to care
[02:39.19] Well, take a look at where you live, what if it happened there?
[02:43.25] You have to know the urge to make a change lies within
[02:46.64] And we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again
[02:49.79] When I get older
[02:51.94] I will be stronger
[02:53.61] They'll call me freedom
[02:55.49] Just like a wavin' flag
[02:57.86] And then it goes back
[02:59.22] And then it goes back
[03:01.32] Then it goes back
[03:03.94] When I get older
[03:05.68] I will be stronger
[03:07.74] They'll call me freedom
[03:09.89] Just like a wavin' flag
[03:11.74] And then it goes back
[03:13.45] And then it goes back
[03:15.29] And then it goes back
[03:17.20] Whoa-oh-oh
[03:18.86] When I get older
[03:20.24] I will be stronger
[03:21.92] They'll call me freedom
[03:23.83] Just like a wavin' flag
[03:25.86] And then it goes back
[03:28.06] And then it goes back
[03:29.65] And then it goes back
[03:31.11] Whoa-oh-oh
[03:33.67] When I get older
[03:37.91] When I get older
[03:41.30] I will be stronger
[03:45.06] Just like a wavin' flag
[03:51.88]
