(intro)

C5                F5
When i get older i will be
         A5                     G5
stronger they'll call me freedom just
             C5
like a wavin flag

(chorus)
C5                F5
when i get older i will be
         A5                      G5
stronger they'll call me freedom just
              C5
like a waving flag
                 F5
and then it goes back
                 A5
and then it goes back
                 G5
and then it goes back
(ahhho ahhho ahhho)

C5
born to a throne
G5
stronger than rome
A5
but violent prone
G5
poor people zone
F5
but its my home
C5
all i have known
F5
where i got grown
G5
streets we would roam

C5
out of the darkness
G5
i came the farthest
A5                G5
among the hardest survivin
F5
learn form these streets
C5
it can be bleek
F5
accept no defeet
G5
surrender retreat
       C5           G5
(so we struggling) fighting to eat
        A5         G5
(and we wondering) when we will be free
      F5
so we patiently wait
    C5
for that faithful day
    F5
its not far away
    G5
but for now we say

(chorus)

C5
so many wars
G5
settling scores
A5
bring us promises
G5
leaving us poor
F5
i heard them say
C5
love is the way
F5
love is the answer
G5
thats what they say

    C5
but look how they treat us
G5
make us believers
A5
we fight there battles
G5
then they deceive us
F5
try to control us
C5
they couldn't hold us
F5
cause we just move forward
G5
like buffalo soldiers
        C5          G5
(but we strugglin) fighting to eat
        A5          G5
(and we wonderingg) when we will be free
      F5
so we patiently wait
    C5
for that faithfully day
    F5
its not far away
    G5
but for now we say

(chorus x2)
(Same chords for verses)
and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah
