K’Naan – Wavin’ Flag Song Words
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
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 form these 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 faithful day
It’s not 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
So many wars, settling scores
Bringin’ 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
Just like buffalo soldiers
But we struggling
Fighting to eat
And we wondering
When we’ll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithfully day
It’s 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
And then it goes
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
And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
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
