[中文]

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

出生于王座之上

比罗马还要古老

但也易激烈

贫民的区域

可是那是我的家

我所了解的一切

我在那长大

但现在一切都没了

黑暗中走出曙光

灾难袭来

威胁着我的生存

我的街道被撕裂

我的梦想被打碎

如今似乎是失败，退缩无助

我们在挣扎

为了吃饭而战

我们在疑问

是否会获得自由

我们不能等到某个信仰的日子

那太遥远，所以我现在说

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

哇哦哦

太多战争在解决恩怨

我们经历的一切

如今还有更多

我听人们说爱是道路

爱是答案，他们这么说

但我们不仅仅是梦想家

关于破碎的悲伤者

我们的手会伸出

我们不会看不到你

这不能控制我们

不，它不能让我们倒下

即使我们还在挣扎，也要坚持

为了生存

我们在疑问

为生命而战

我们耐心等待

为了另一天

那太遥远，所以我现在说

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

哇哦哦

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去（呃）

然后它会飘回去（好吧，没关系）

然后它会飘回去

哇哦哦

为什么当媒体停止报道

政府有一点点帮忙

我们却忘了那些还在挣扎的人

还以为一切又都是爱，呸

我们不用等事情崩溃

如果你以前没参与，现在永远不晚

你可能觉得太远，根本不用在意

但看看你住的地方，如果发生在那里呢？

你要知道，改变的冲动就在心中

我们可以成为他们再次看到旗帜升起的原因

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

哇哦哦

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

他们会叫我自由

就像飞扬的旗帜

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

然后它会飘回去

哇哦哦

当我变得成熟

当我变得成熟

我会变得更强

就像飞扬的旗帜

[英语]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin' flag

Born from a throne

Older than Rome

But violent prone

Poor people zone

But it's my home

All I have known

Where I got grown

But now it's gone

Out of the darkness

In came the carnage

Threatening my very survival

Fractured my streets

And broke all my dreams

Now feels like defeat to wretched retreat

So we strugglin'

Fighting to eat

And we wonderin'

If we'll be free

We cannot wait for some faithful day

It's too far away so right now I'll 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

Whoa-oh-oh

So many wars settling scores

All that we've been through

And now there is more

I hear them say love is the way

Love is the answer that's what they say

But we're not just dreamers

Of broken down grievers

Our hand will reach us

And we will not see ya

This can't control us

No, it can't hold us down

We gon' pick it up even though we still struggling

Au nom de la survie

And we wondering

Battant pour nos vies

We patiently wait

For some other day

That's too far away so right now I 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

Whoa-oh-oh

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back (uh)

And then it goes back (well, alright)

And then it goes back

Whoa-oh-oh

How come when the media stops covering

And there's a little help from the government

We forget about the people still struggling

And assume that it's really all love again, nah

See we don't have to wait for things to break apart

If you weren't involved before it's never too late to start

You probably think that it's too far to even have to care

Well, take a look at where you live, what if it happened there?

You have to know the urge to make a change lies within

And we can be the reason that they see the flag rise again

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

Then it goes back

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

Whoa-oh-oh

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

Whoa-oh-oh

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Just like a wavin' flag
