Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition, Celebration, it's around us, every nations, all around us Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun Let's rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day. We all say, [Chorus:] 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, and then it goes... Born to a throne, stronger than Rome But violent-prone, poor people zone, But it's my home, all I have known, Where I got grown, streets we would roam Out of the darkness, I came the farthest Among the hardest survival Learn from these streets, it can be bleak, Accept no defeat, surrender retreat [Bridge:] So we strugglin' Fightin' to eat And we wonderin' When we'll be free So we patiently wait For that fateful day It's not far away, But for now we say: [Chorus] So many wars, settlin' 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
