When I get older, I will be stronger
When I get older, I will be stronger
And then it goes back, oh
Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
Born violent, prone, poor people's own
But it's my home, all I have known
the streets we would roam
Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest, sur vival
To learn from these streets,
Accept no defeat, surrender retreat
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
It's not far away, so for now we'll say
When I get older, I will be stronger
And then it goes back, oh
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,
They tried to control us,
Cause we just move forward
So we patiently wait, for that fateful day
It's not far away, so for now we'll say
When I get older, I will be stronger,
and then it goes back, and then it goes
When I get older, I will be stronger,
and then it goes back, and then it goes
And everybody will be singing yes
And you and I will be singing yes
And we all will be singing yes
When I get older, I will be stronger
And then it goes back, and then it goes
When I get older, I will be stronger
And then it goes back, oh
