K'naan - Wavin' Flag

When I get older
I will be stronger
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 waving 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 survive
Learn form these streets
It can be bleak
Accept no defeat
Surrender retreat
(So we struggling)
Fighting to eat
(And we wondering)
When we will 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
Bring us promises
Leaving us poor
I heard them say
Love is the way
Love is the answer
Thats 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 strugglin)
Fighting to eat
(And we wondering)
When we will 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 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 wavin flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

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

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

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
