Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom,

[Chorus 1]
just like a wavin' flag
[C]When I get older, [F]I will be stronger
[Am]They'll call me freedom [G]just like a wavin' [C]flag
And then it goes [F]back, and then it goes [Am]back
And then it goes [G]back, oh

[Verse 1]
[C]Born to a throne, [G]stronger than Rome
[Am]A violence prone, po[G]or people zone
[F]But it's my home, [Em]all I have known
[Dm]Where I got grown, [G]streets we would roam
[C]Out of the darkness, [G]I came the farthest
[Am]Among the hardest sur[G]vival
[F]Learn from these streets, [Em]it can be bleak
[Dm]Accept no defeat, sur[G]render, retreat

[Pre-chorus 1]
So we [C]struggling, [G]fighting to eat
And we [Am]wondering [G]when we'll be free
So we [F]patiently wait for [Em]that fateful day
It's [Dm]not far away, but f[G]or now we say

[Chorus 2]
[C]When I get older, [F]I will be stronger
[Am]They'll call me freedom [G]just like a wavin' [C]flag
And then it goes [F]back, and then it goes [Am]back
And then it goes [G]back, oh

[Verse 2]
[C]So many wars, [G]settling scores
[Am]Bringing us promises, [G]leaving us poor
[F]I heard them say '[Em]love is the way'
[Dm]'Love is the answer, [G]that's what they say
But [C]look how they treat us, [G]make us believers
[Am]We fight their battles, th[G]en they deceive us
[F]Try to control us, [Em]they couldn't hold us
Cause [Dm]we just move forward
Like [G]Buffalo Soldiers

[Pre-chorus 2]
But we [C]struggling, [G]fighting to eat
And we [Am]wondering [G]when we'll be free
So we [F]patiently wait for [Em]that fateful day
It's [Dm]not far away, but f[G]or now we say

[Chorus 3]
[C]When I get older, [F]I will be stronger
[Am]They'll call me freedom [G]just like a wavin' [C]flag
And then it goes [F]back, and then it goes [Am]back
And then it goes [G]back

[Chorus 4]
And then it goes
[C]When I get older, [F]I will be stronger
[Am]They'll call me freedom [G]just like a wavin' [C]flag
And then it goes [F]back, and then it goes [Am]back
And then it goes [G]back

[C][G]
And then it [Am]goes[G][F][Em][Dm]
And every[G]body will will be singing [C]it

And we [G]all will be singing [F]it
[Em]Oh, [Dm]oh, o[G]h

And then it goes [G]back, oh
