-Lyrics-

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


Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh. [x2]

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher.
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud.
In the streets are, exaliftin', as we lose our inhabition.
Celebration it's around us, every nations, all around us.
Singin' forever young, singin' songs underneath that sun.
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game.
And together at the end of the day,

WE ALL 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 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,
and then it goes


Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh. [x2]

Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher.
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud.
In the streets are, exaliftin', as we lose our inhabition.
Celebration it's around us, every nations, all around us.
Singin' forever young, singin' songs underneath that sun.
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game.
And together at the end of the day,

WE ALL 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 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,
and then it goes


Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh. [x2]

WE ALL 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 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,
and then it goes


Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh.
and every body will be singin' it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh.
and we are all singin' it.
