[Verse]
C               
When I get older
          F         
I will be ■ stronger
Am                     
They'll call me freedom
G                 C   
Just like a wavin flag
     C            
Born from a throne
G              
Older than Rome
Am               
But violent prone
G               
Poor people zone
F           C   
But it's my home
C               
All I have known
F                
Where I got grown
G           C   
But now its gone
C                  
Out of the darkness
G                  
In came the carnage
Am                  G       
Threatening my very survival
F                   
Fractured my streets
    Fmaj7 Em           
And broke all my dreams
D                        G               
Now Feels like defeat to wretched retreat
      C         
So we strugglin'
G              
Fighting to eat
       Am       
And we wonderin'
G               
If we'll be free
F                  C                
We cannot wait for some faithful day
     F               G                 
It's too far away so right now I'll say


[Chorus]
C               
When I get older
F                 
I will be stronger
Am                     
They'll call me freedom
G                  C   
Just like a waving flag
                 F   
And then it goes back
                 Am  
And then it goes back
    Am               
And then it goes back
G                
Ahhho ahhho ahhho


[Verse]
C            G              
So many wars settling scores
Am                         
All that we've been through
G                    
And now there is more
F F7            C    Em        
I hear them say love is the way
C    D             G                   
Love is the answer that's what they say
C                         
But were not just dreamers
   G                   
Of broken down grievers
Am                    
Our hand will reach us
    G                 
And we will not see ya
F                    
This can't control us
Em                  D   
No it can't hold us down
             G                    C               
We gon' pick it up even though we still struggling
       G           
Au nom de la survie
       Am7      
And we wondering
G                    
Battant pour nos vies
F                
We patiently wait
         C        
For some other day
F                     G              
Thats too far away so right now I say


[Chorus]
C               
When I get older
F                 
I will be stronger
Am                     
They'll call me freedom
G                  C   
Just like a waving flag
                 F   
And then it goes back
                 Am  
And then it goes back
                 G   
And then it goes back
C               
When I get older
F                 
I will be stronger
Am                     
They'll call me freedom
G                  C   
Just like a waving flag
                 F   
And then it goes back
                 Am  
And then it goes back
                 G   
And then it goes back
    G           
Uhh well alright


[Verse]
              C                       
How come when the media stops covering
    G                                        
And there's a little help from the government
Am                                         
We forget about the people still struggling
    G                                     F   
And assume that its really all love again nahh
                  Cmaj7                       Dm7  
See we don't have to wait for things to break apart
                        G                             C    
If you weren't involved before it's never too late to start
                             G                       Am  
You probably think that it's too far to even have to care
                          G                            F    
Well take a look at where you live what if it happened there
                     C                                
You have to know the urge to make a change lies within
Dm7                           G                      C    
And we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again
C               
When I get older
F                 
I will be stronger
Am                     
They'll call me freedom
G                  C   
Just like a wavin' flag
                 F   
And then it goes back
                 Am  
And then it goes back
             G    D G
Then it goes back ■ ■


[Chorus]
       Bm  Am   
When I get older
D                 
I will be stronger
        D              
They'll call me freedom
G                      
Just like a waving flag
                 Bm  
And then it goes back
                 Am   A7
And then it goes back ■ 
D                    
And then it goes back
D               
When I get older
          G       
I will be stronger
G                      
They'll call me freedom
          Bm           
Just like a waving flag
Bm                   
And then it goes back
    Am           D   
And then it goes back
G        Bm      Am   A7 D
And then it goes back ■  ■


[Outro]
G          Bm   
When I get older
Am         D    
When I get older
G         Bm      
I will be stronger
Am          D          
Just like a waving flag
D C F Am G C F
