Текст песни: K'naan. Wavin' Flag.

When i get older
I will be stronger
They'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

Born to a thrown
Stronger than Rome
a violent prone poor people zone
but it's my home all i have known
where I have grown streets we would roam

Out of the darkness i came the farthest
Among the hardest survivors.
Learn from these streets
They can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we strugglin
fightin' to eat
And we wonderin
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
Its 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 settelin 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 strugglin
fightin' to eat
And we wonderin'
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that fateful day
Its 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

Ohohoh ohohoh ohohoh....(etc)
And everybody will be singing
And you and I will be singing
And we all will be singing
Ohhohhohh

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 oh oh oh

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, flag
Just like a waving flag
