K'naan - Wavin' Flag
[00:01.06] When I get older I will be stronger
[00:03.57] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[00:10.06] When I get older I will be stronger
[00:13.57] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[00:17.07] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[00:20.31] And then it goes back, oh
[00:22.81] Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
[00:26.06] But violent prone, poor people zone
[00:29.56] But it's my home, all I have known
[00:32.06] Where I got grown, streets we would roam
[00:35.56] Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
[00:38.56] Among the hardest survival
[00:41.80] Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
[00:44.82] Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat
[00:48.06] So we struggling, fighting to eat
[00:51.06] And we wondering when we'll be free
[00:54.30] So we patiently wait for that fateful day
[00:57.56] It's not far away, but for now we say
[01:00.56] When I get older I will be stronger
[01:03.82] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[01:07.57] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[01:10.81] And then it goes back, oh
[01:13.55] So many wars, settling scores
[01:16.31] Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
[01:19.56] I heard them say, "love is the way"
[01:22.81] "Love is the answer, " that's what they say
[01:26.05] But look how they treat us, make us believers
[01:29.06] We fight their battles, then they deceive us
[01:32.31] Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
[01:35.58] 'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers
[01:38.57] But we struggling, fighting to eat
[01:41.56] And we wondering, when we'll be free
[01:44.81] So we patiently wait for that faithful day
[01:48.06] It's not far away but for now we say
[01:51.06] When I get older I will be stronger
[01:54.31] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[01:58.06] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[02:01.31] And then it goes back, and then it goes
[02:03.83] When I get older I will be stronger
[02:06.82] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[02:10.80] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[02:14.06] And then it goes back, and then it goes
[02:19.05] And then it goes
[02:22.06] And everybody will be singing it
[02:29.32] And you and I will be singing it
[02:32.32] And we all will be singing it
[02:35.56] Oh, oh, oh
[02:41.82] When I get older I will be stronger
[02:44.81] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[02:48.55] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[02:51.80] And then it goes back, and then it goes
[02:54.33] When I get older I will be stronger
[02:57.57] They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag
[03:01.06] And then it goes back, and then it goes back
[03:04.31] And then it goes back, oh
[03:07.31] When I get older
[03:11.57] When I get older
[03:15.06] I will be stronger
[03:18.05] Just like a wavin' flag
[03:22.06] Just like a wavin' flag
[03:24.31] Just like a wavin' flag
