Wavin Flag Lyrics:


When i get older, they’ll call me freedom
Just like a Waving Flag.

[Chorus]
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 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

[Chorus]

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,

[Chorus] 2x

(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And everybody will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And you and I will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And we all will be singing it
(Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh)

[Chorus] 2x

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

  80. sana Says:

    god ths song is trillng…..k’naan ur simply uncanny…

  81. TheGuyFromAbiaOhafia Says:

    This (especially the original version) reminds me of my young days in the village I grew up. We had to do hard and odd jobs as children to support our parents to take care of us. The times were so tough but we pushed further, persevered and eventually we made it all through. It was not easy but our hope, expectation and faith in God kept us going. We can now tell the story. Somalians will tell the survival story some day. It is not far from now like K’naan rightly said.

  82. amardeep Says:

    Oh MY God!!!!!!!!!!!1..This Song Has Inspired Me to Stand Up and fight!!!!
    Luv the spirit the Song Conveys!!!!!!!!!!1..and Ofcourse K’naan…u r awsome!! Man!!!!!!!

  83. Arjun Paul Says:

    Though my nationality is Indian, but the theme of the song is closely related to us, our past…it brings in inspiration to fight for freedom, fight for truth, fight for our right, fight to win…the first time I heard this song, my heart went heavy…the lyrics is cent percent true…and it is a thousand times much much better than Shakira’s Waka Waka. FIFA chossed this song, and they have correctly justified by doing so. Shakira doesn’t belong to Africa, her voice has no ascent of African feeling…K’naan correctly justifies this song and the music is superb and most importantly its lyrics is HEART TOUCHING!

  84. ZM Says:

    Hi K’nnn,

    Your song, your style make me feel freely and active.

    It is great song and absloutely match with world cup song.

    Ver good, Very good

  85. ash Says:

    i like this song the wavin flag its awasome even waka waka by shakira

  86. Chibuike Mark Nwachukwuu Says:

    Imagine going to school without pen or paper, Imagine the sea without water, world cup without goal and the world Without anything and most importantly You K’naan? Thaanks for being there for Africa and Dworld.
    Your song have thought me we are one people. I thought Africa will not get one like late Lucky Tube again.
    God bless u, Africans and all lovers of Africans.
    Nwachukwu Chibuike
