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 wavin’ flag
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
But of the darkness I came the farthest
among the hardest , Survivlal
Learn from these streets
It can be bleak
Accept no defeat
Surrender retreat (so we strugglin’)
Fighting to eat (And wa 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 [x3]
And then it goes back [x3]
When I get older I will be stronger
they’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag
and then it goes back [x3]

So many wars settlin scores
Bringing us promises
Leaving us war 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 flight their battles
Then they daceive us, Try to control us
They couldn’t own us
Cause we just move forward
Like buffalo soldiers (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

[chorus]

And then it goes

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

[chorus]

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
