    Wavin' Flag

    Uploaded by

    The song is about struggling against oppression and poverty but having hope that in the future, when the singer gets older, he will be stronger and able to fight for freedom, represented by a waving flag. Despite current hardships, people will one day no longer have to wonder when they will be free but will instead all join together in singing about freedom.

    WAVIN’ FLAG

    K’naan

    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 wavin' flag
    And then it goes back, and then it goes back
    And then it goes back, oh

    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

    So we struggling, fighting to eat


    And we wondering when we'll be free
    So we patiently wait for that fateful 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, 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 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 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 then it goes

    And everybody will be singing it


    And you and I will be singing it
    And we all will be singing it

    Oh, oh, oh

    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, 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
