Wavin' flag
K'naanThey'll call me freedom
Just like a waving 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
To the 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
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, so 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
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 Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
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 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 Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
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
When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger, just like a waving flag
Just like a waving flag, just like a waving flag
Flag, flag, just like a waving flag
