Waving' Flag Songtext

von K'NAAN

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag

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 out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Except 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, so for now we say

When I get older,
I will be stronger
I'll make it better,
Struggle no longer
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag

So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
An inner situation, when that's a compensation
They got no occupation, no buy not medication
It's a combination of no education
We can never get and say it's tomorrow generation
Because they can control this, no they can hold this town
We can pick it up
Being alone on struggling, fighting to eat
And wondering, when we'll be free
So patiently wait, for that faithful day
It's not far away, but for now we say

When I get older,
I will be stronger
I'll make it better,
Struggle no longer
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag

Ahhho ahhho ahhho
Ahhho ahhho ahhho

And everybody will be singing yeah

Ahhho ahhho ahhho
Ahhho ahhho ahhho

And we all now will be singing yeah
And we all will be singing yeah

When I get older,
I will be stronger (stronger, stronger)
I will be stronger (stronger, stronger)
I will be stronger,
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
So wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag

Just like a waving flag
Just like a waving flag
Just like a waving flag
Just like a waving flag
