Wavin' Flag Lyrics

Wavin' Flag - K'NAAN

...

when i get older

i will bestronger

they'll call me freedom

just like a wavin flag

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

ahhho ahhho ahhho

born to a throne

stronger than rome

but violent prone

poor people zone

but its 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 survive

learn form these streets

it can be bleak

accept no defeet

surrender retreat

(so we struggling)

fighting to eat

(and we wondering)

when we will be free

so we patiently wait

for that faithful day

its not far away

but for now we 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

ahhho ahhho ahhho

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 there 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 will be free

so we patiently wait

for that faithfully day

its not far away

but for now we 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

when i get older

i will bestronger

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

ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo

and everybody will be singing it

and you and i will be singing it

and we all will be singing it

wo wah wo ah wo ah

when i get older

i will bestronger

they'll call me freedom

justlike a wavin flag

and then it goes back

and then it goes back

and then it goes back

when i get older

i will be stronger

they'll call me freedom

justlike a wavin flag

and then it goes back

and then it goes back

and then it goes back

a oh a oh a oh

when i get older

when i get older

i will be stronger

just like a wavin flag

just like a wavin flag

just like a wavin flag

flag flag

just like a wavin flag
