(Intro ? sung over single-string picked melody or single chord played in short arpeggio):
C5                 F5   
When I get older, I will be stronger,
A5                         G5                 C5
They'll call me freedom , just like a Wavin' Flag

(Verse 1):
C5                 E5
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A5                  G5
but violence prone, poor people zone,
F5                 E5
But it's my home, all I have known,
D5                 F5                G5
Where I got grown, streets we would roam.
    C5                    E5    
But out of the darkness, I came the farthest,
A5               G5
Among the hardest survival.
F5                         E5
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,
D5                  G5
Except no defeat, surrender retreat,
      C5           E5
So we struggling, fighting to eat and
   A5        G5
We wondering when we'll be free,
      F5                   E5
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day,
     D5               G5
It's not far away, so for now we say

[Chorus]
C5                 F5
When I get older, I will be stronger,
A5                          G5               C5
They'll call me freedom , just like a Wavin' flag
                 F5                      A5
And then it goes back, and then it goes back,
                 A5        G5
And then it goes back, and then it goes
C5                 F5
When I get older, I will be stronger,
A5                       G5                  C5
They'll call me freedom , just like a Wavin' flag
                 F5                      A5
And then it goes back, and then it goes back,
                 G5                   
And then it goes back oh oh oh


(Verse 2 ? same chords as Verse 1):

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,

[Chorus]

(Coda):

C5  E5              A5  G5
   When I get older,    when I get older

   When I get older,    just like a Waving Flag,
E5                A5    G5                  F5
Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving Flag
E5    D5    G5                  G5
Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag
