Wavin' Flag Songtext
von K’naan

When I get older I will be stronger
They′ll call me freedom just like a waving flag

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, street we would roam

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from the streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering when we′ll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
It's no far away, but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes


When I get older I will be stronger
They′ll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
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, 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

But we struggling, fighting to eat
And we wondering, when we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
It′s no far away, but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes


When I get older I will be stronger
They′ll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes

And then it goes

Ohh

And everybody will be singing

And you and I will be singing

And we all will be singing

Ohh

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom just like a waving flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, ohh

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Just like a waving flag

Just like a waving flag

Just like a waving flag

Flag

Flag

Just like a waving flag
