Wavin' Flag Lyrics
oh,oh,oh,oh,oh,oh x2
Give me freedom,Give me fire
Give me reason
Take me higherSee the champions, take the field now
Unify us
Make us feel proudin the streets, our heads are lifted
as we lose our inhibition
celebration its around us
every nation all around usSinging forever young
Singing songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game
And together at the end of the day we all sayWhen I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a waving' flag
and then it goes back x4When 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, oh,oh,oh,oh,ohgive you freedom
give you fire
give you reason
take you higher.Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roamOut of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender we treatSo 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 sayWhen 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, ohSo 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 sayBut 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 SoldiersBut 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 sayWhen 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, and then is goesWhen 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, and then it goes
And then it goesAnd everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing itWhen 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, and then it goesWhen 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, ohWhen 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
