Artist: K'naan Album: Troubadour Song: Wavin' Flag Typed by: DaSun Akbar (Intro) When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag (Hook) 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 Ohhhhh [K'naan] Born to a throne, stronger then Rome A 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 survivors Learn from these streets, it can be bleak Except 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 It's not far away, but for now we say... (Hook) [K'naan] So many wars, settlin' scores Bringin' us promises, leavin' us poor I heard 'em 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 Tried to control us, they couldn't hold us Cuz we just moved 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 It's not far away, but for now we say... (Hook) 2x Ohhhhhhh... Ohhhhhhh... Ohhhhhhh... [Interlude] And everybody will be singing it And you and I will be singing it And we all will be singing it Ohhhhhhh... Ohhhhhhh... Ohhhhhhh... (Hook) 2x (Outro) 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
